In the W3C/WHATWG DOM, an event listener is passed a reference to the event 
object as first argument (if you need to support the legacy MSHTML DOM as 
well, you need to read the “window.event” property instead).  Event objects 
have a “shiftKey” property whose value is “true” if the Shift key was 
pressed when the event was fired, “false” otherwise.  And you can pass the 
property value to your function.
