UKismetInputLibrary::ModifierKeysState_IsShiftDown

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if either Shift key was held down at the moment the given modifier-keys snapshot was captured.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Requires an FSlateModifierKeysState snapshot obtained from UKismetInputLibrary::GetModifierKeysState() — it does not read live input on its own, so the snapshot can be stale if captured earlier in the same frame.
• Unlike InputEvent_IsShiftDown, this is not tied to a specific input event; it is useful when you need the current modifier state outside of an input event callback, such as during a Tick.
