Description

Currently there is no ability to detect if there were any of shift/ctrl/alt key active for current event. Would be nice to have something like $.jwerty.is('shift').

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the jwerty source code to see how key events are captured and stored, then implement a method like $.jwerty.is('shift') that checks the modifier key state from the last event or current event.
