How to use the modifier keys in plugin development?

[stax76]

My Favorites plugin allows running apps via shell execute, what I tried today is running as admin when ctrl+shift is pressed, but unfortunately could not make it, Result.Action does not get invoked when ctrl+shift is pressed. I took a quick look in the Program plugin code, but it did not help, there is a lot of complex code. Does anybody know how it works?

C# Plugin?
Check the ActionContext of the Action delegate.

Example of how Program plugin implement that

Action = c =>
                {
                    var runAsAdmin = (
                        c.SpecialKeyState.CtrlPressed &&
                        c.SpecialKeyState.ShiftPressed &&
                        !c.SpecialKeyState.AltPressed &&
                        !c.SpecialKeyState.WinPressed
                    );

                    var info = new ProcessStartInfo
                    {
                        FileName = LnkResolvedPath ?? FullPath,
                        WorkingDirectory = ParentDirectory,
                        UseShellExecute = true,
                        Verb = runAsAdmin ? "runas" : null
                    };

                    Task.Run(() => Main.StartProcess(Process.Start, info));

                    return true;
                }
