UKismetInputLibrary::InputEvent_IsShiftDown

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if either the left or right Shift key was held down when this input event occurred.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Reflects the modifier state at the moment the event fired, not the current live key state — do not poll it every tick expecting it to update.
• Does not distinguish left from right Shift; use InputEvent_IsLeftShiftDown or InputEvent_IsRightShiftDown for that.

Signature
