Quick and dirty: "Sensor shiftPressed" The modification keys (shift/ctrl/alt/cmd?) is available at the MorphicEvent side see the class UserInputEvent (variable buttons + protocol modifier state). Adding a variable to TRAbstractMouseEvent (removing those at TRAbstractMouseClick) which hold this information + the same messages as in "modifier stae" + in each rtMouse... method in RTMorph add a line setting the button state from the evt argument to the RTEvent type (for example "ee modifierState: evt buttons") should make this information available for any mouse event in Roassal.
