I think what Richmond was after was a message that get's sent when he
presses the shift key, not detecting when it's down. The only way that
comes to mind would be a front script that captured the keydown/keyup or
rawkeys messages, check for the shift key state then fired a message to
a handler of your choosing.

On OS X, at least, no key messages are sent by the OS when the shift key is depressed. The OS does allow you to check its state if you specifically ask, which is why the function works, but you aren't notified automatically by the OS each time it goes down. That's why LiveCode can't send any system messages about it.
