key_shifts(3)			Allegro	manual			 key_shifts(3)

NAME
       key_shifts - Bitmask containing the current state of modifier keys. Al-
       legro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<allegro.h>

       extern volatile int key_shifts;

DESCRIPTION
       Bitmask	containing  the	 current  state	of shift/ctrl/alt, the special
       Windows keys, and the accent escape characters. Wherever	possible  this
       value  will be updated asynchronously, but if keyboard_needs_poll() re-
       turns TRUE, you must manually call poll_keyboard() to  update  it  with
       the current input state.	This can contain any of	the flags:

	  KB_SHIFT_FLAG
	  KB_CTRL_FLAG
	  KB_ALT_FLAG
	  KB_LWIN_FLAG
	  KB_RWIN_FLAG
	  KB_MENU_FLAG
	  KB_COMMAND_FLAG
	  KB_SCROLOCK_FLAG
	  KB_NUMLOCK_FLAG
	  KB_CAPSLOCK_FLAG
	  KB_INALTSEQ_FLAG
	  KB_ACCENT1_FLAG
	  KB_ACCENT2_FLAG
	  KB_ACCENT3_FLAG
	  KB_ACCENT4_FLAG

       Example:

	  if (key[KEY_W]) {
	     if	(key_shifts & KB_SHIFT_FLAG) {
		/* User	is pressing shift + W. */
	     } else {
		/* Hmmm... lower case W	then. */
	     }
	  }
