Now that Sierra has killed ASObjC Runner, has anyone created a way to detect which key is down?

If you mean which modifier key, then you can use this:

use AppleScript version "2.4"
use scripting additions
use framework "Foundation"
use framework "AppKit" -- for NSEvent

my checkModifier:"command"

on checkModifier:keyName
if keyName = "option" then
set theMask to current application's NSAlternateKeyMask as integer
else if keyName = "control" then
set theMask to current application's NSControlKeyMask as integer
else if keyName = "command" then
set theMask to current application's NSCommandKeyMask as integer
else if keyName = "shift" then
set theMask to current application's NSShiftKeyMask as integer
else
return false
end if
set theFlag to current application's NSEvent's modifierFlags() as integer
if ((theFlag div theMask) mod 2) = 0 then
return false
else
return true
end if
end checkModifier:
