Can't detect shift alone

[ashconnell]

Shift by itself doesn't work.

hotkeys('shift', function() {
  console.log('Shift pressed')
})

Here's a working example: CodeSandbox

@ashconnell Modifier keys cannot be set.

hotkeys("*", function(event, handler) {
  console.log("event", event);
  console.log("handler", handler);
  if (hotkeys.shift) {
    console.log("shift is pressed!");
  }

  if (hotkeys.ctrl) {
    console.log("ctrl is pressed!");
  }

  if (hotkeys.alt) {
    console.log("alt is pressed!");
  }

  if (hotkeys.option) {
    console.log("option is pressed!");
  }

  if (hotkeys.control) {
    console.log("control is pressed!");
  }

  if (hotkeys.cmd) {
    console.log("cmd is pressed!");
  }

  if (hotkeys.command) {
    console.log("command is pressed!");
  }
});

@jaywcjlove how would I differentiate between shift and shift+command+z then? I don't want the shift behaviour to happen when they actually pressed other keys with it

@ashconnell Could you find anything?

[ashconnell]

@m98 I wrote my own key state machine where if "shift + command + z" is down then it "cancels" the "shift" binding

[m98]

@ashconnell You mean by using this library? or just writing it by your own code?

I guess if we make two binding, when we want them to trigger independently, or does binding z does not trigger if we bind shift+command+z?
