Returns the state of the keyboard modifier keys as they were when a script trigger was activated.
Format

Parameters
None
Data type returned
number
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 10.0
Description
Returns a value only when called from a script activated by a script trigger or from a sub-script
called from the triggered script; otherwise returns an empty string.
• See Get(ActiveModifierKeys) for a description of the values assigned to the keyboard
modifier keys.
• See the Code function for a list of navigational keys and the codes returned to a script
activated by this trigger.
Time might elapse between when the keys that activated a script trigger are pressed and the script
asks for information on the modifier keys. Use Get(TriggerKeystroke) and Get(TriggerModifierKeys)
to capture the keys that were active when the script trigger was activated. Use
Get(ActiveModifierKeys) to capture any current keys being pressed.
Notes
• Windows: Alt and Ctrl key combinations do not activate script triggers.
