modifierKeys

When processing a stamp, the local List-type variable modifierKeys is set to a list of strings representing the modifier keys the user was pressing when the stamp is executed. For example, a value of [control;option] indicates that the control and option keys were pressed, and that neither the shift nor the command keys were pressed.

Component values include: command, option, shift, and control.

From v11.6.0, this variable is associated with (map-only) mouse actions.
