Re: [pygame] Determining if mod keys are pressed

[René Dudfield <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

events = pygame.event.get()

for e in events:
    if e.type == KEYDOWN:
        if e.key == K_y:
            if e.mod & KMOD_LSHIFT or e.mod & KMOD_RSHIFT:
                do_with_shift()
            else:
                do_without_shift()

Or you can use the pygame.key.get_mods:
