I want to interrogate the boolean state of the Shift-Key (pressed or not).

I learned it is possible to define event-handlers to control keyup/keydown
events, then I could adjust some global variable that I can interrogate
where I need that information. But that is bulky and seems unnecessary(?)
complex.

My application context is a function that is triggered when a button is
pressed. Is there a simple way to just interrogate the Shift-Key status
in that function?
