I do not know of any way to have a modifier key by itself start a script or
trigger any other event function. You should be able to check the state of
a modifier key with the GetKeyState function. This is slightly more
difficult since this check will have to be performed every time the key is
expected or periodically without getting stuck in an endless loop or impact
performance.
