UKismetInputLibrary::GetModifierKeysState

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns a snapshot of the current modifier-key state (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Command) for the application, independent of any specific input event.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Queries the live, cached application-wide modifier state rather than the state captured at a specific input event — use the InputEvent_Is*Down functions instead if you need the state tied to a particular key or pointer event.
• Only reflects modifier keys on the local machine running the Slate application; it is not replicated or network-aware.
