Can't detect shift alone

Shift by itself doesn’t work.

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

Here’s a working example: CodeSandbox

@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 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!");
  }
});
