How to check if a keyboard modifier is pressed (shift, ctrl, alt)?

Question

I am building a UI with Qt Designer and I want buttons to perform different actions with different modifiers. So I thought I could call functions with dynamic string propert

here's another approach using bit operators, that avoids getting into many combos.

@classmethod
def get_key_modifiers(cls):
    QModifiers = Qt.QtWidgets.QApplication.keyboardModifiers()
    modifiers = []
    if (QModifiers & Qt.QtCore.Qt.ShiftModifier) == Qt.QtCore.Qt.ShiftModifier:
        modifiers.append('shift')
    if (QModifiers & Qt.QtCore.Qt.ControlModifier) == Qt.QtCore.Qt.ControlModifier:
        modifiers.append('control')
    if (QModifiers & Qt.QtCore.Qt.AltModifier) == Qt.QtCore.Qt.AltModifier:
        modifiers.append('alt')
    return modifiers
