How to detect shift down when clicking on ScriptUI button?


On my scriptUI panel, I have a button. How can I detect whether the user is holding the shift key when they click on the button?


Solution

  • You can add an eventListener to your button.

    var win = new Window ("dialog");
    win.aButton = win.add ("button", undefined, "Button");
    win.aButton.addEventListener ("click", function (k) {
          if (k.shiftKey) {
            alert("foo");
          }else{
            alert("bah");
          }
      });
    win.show ();
