Remarks
Note: when using this to test keys status in a script, be aware that you should assign to the script all combinations of keys involved. An example: let's assume you made a script TestQualifier, and assigned the F2 key to it.. When you test it, it works if you press the F2 key alone, but not if you press Shift+F2. Conclusion: to use key-sensitive scripts, you have to assign all eight keys combionations to the same script: F2, Shift+F2, Alt+F2, Ctrl+F2, Shift+Alt+F2, Shift+Ctrl+F2, Alt+Ctrl+F2, Shift+Alt+Ctrl+F2.
