I think this explains it:

The modifiers enumeration is used in the following ways:
modifiers property of the keystroke class/record

Yes, I thought that is the way it should work.
Perhaps 'modifiers of keystroke', but that errors.
So, I tried this ...

on run
get keystroke
class of the result --> "class"
end run

It seems that keystroke is not a record or anything else.
Which is why I think this is brain dead.

There is indeed deadness in the noggin.

I did come across this note where it was stated that there must be some sort of event to detect the modifier.

But what I just love are events that get fired off on mod key down and mod key ups. If I can open my old Director files, I can pull the code out of them. I would be create to create an OSAX where we could check the state of the mod keys AND if needed fire off events on key up and key down.
