You said this just now, with my solution that works still copied in the top of
your message. Take another look:

You would call checkkeys at the start of your card that you want to be seeing
shift being pressed, and from then on it would look after itself. Like this
maybe:
global shiftisdown
on opencard
put the shiftkey is down into shiftisdown
checkkeys
end opencard
on checkkeys
if the shiftkey and not shiftisdown then
UserPressedShiftKey
else
if the shiftkey and not shiftisdown then
UserReleasedShiftKey
end if
end if
send checkkeys to me in 100 milliseconds
end
on UserPressedShiftKey
put true into shiftisdown
--do whatever you want to be done when the shift is pressed
end UserPressedShiftKey
on UserReleasedShiftKey
put false into shiftisdown
--do whatever you want to be done when the shift is released
end UserReleasedShiftKey
The above script would require that the user held the shift down for at least a
tenth of a second for it to be seen. If you need quicker reaction than that,
set the send delay to a shorter value.
