Method Detail

public Keyval getKeyval()

Get the key that was pressed.

public ModifierType getState()

Get the Flags object representing what modifiers are being held down, if any.

If you're only expecting a single modifier to be pressed then you could compare by equality:

 if (mod == ModifierType.SHIFT_MASK) {
     ...
 }

but if you're looking for more complex combinations, or worried that more than one modifier could be down, then use contains():

 if (mod.contains(ModifierType.CONTROL_MASK)) {
     ...
 }

which will always do what you want.
