Correct, but I did have to move the mouse (since it was inside the mousemove handler). So if I stopped moving and pressed/released the shift, when I moved the mouse it did change to "down" / "up" as appropriate. It could be related to the VM. I don't have a Win7 VM, so I can't test that OS right now. I did the test on an actual Win10 laptop.
