i told you i probably had the syntax wrong :lol:

you're probably not using the ptc unit directly so you can use it in your code...

i don't like this documentation format without examples but it is what it is...

   https://ptcpas.sourceforge.io/api-reference/ptc/index-4.html

also look here in procedure GetKeyEvents...

 
https://github.com/alrieckert/freepascal/blob/master/packages/graph/src/ptcgraph/ptccrt.pp

if you are already using PTC's keyevents, then you should be able to get the 
shift status already...



i'm not even going to try writing any code this time... i don't have FPC or even 
TP/BP installed any more since i stopped writing code for fidonet stuff some 
years back ;)
