If you look at KeyPrinterMorph you'll see that it indeed handles a single shift key down.

Hi Ben,

If at the end of InputEventFetcher>>waitForInput
you put "Transcript crShow: Time now"
and I think you'll be looking at as raw an event aas you can get.

Now this exhibits some strange behaviour?�� Pushing <shift> on its own does not produce an event, however pushing <shift> fast multiple times does generate events. ???
It's maybe because you move mouse, or randomly touch touchpad.

After some investigations and digging lower and lower till primitive methods, I realized that VM itself doesn't queue an event after user presses Shift. It's just a modifier bit, that is applied on a real events, such as mouse moves or normal keyboard events.

Cheers,
Alex
