How to check the value of KeyboardModifiers?

[lachdanan]

Hi,

I am using QMenu and inside the keyPressEvent I check the event.modifiers(), but how can I know which modifiers are active from this returned value?

Do I have to check all combinations of ctrl, alt and shift? Though I tried this:
(event.modifiers() == QtCore.Qt.ControlModifier | QtCore.Qt.AltModifier | QtCore.Qt.ShiftModifier)

and it returns False, when all of these keys were active.

I just want to check like this if possible:

if event.modifiers().IsCtrlActive()
append(mods, "C")
if event.modifiers().IsShiftActive()
append(mods, "S")
...

Thanks a lot.

(event.modifiers() == QtCore.Qt.ControlModifier | QtCore.Qt.AltModifier | QtCore.Qt.ShiftModifier)

This is not how it works.
If you want to check whether all modifiers are set:

(event.modifiers() & QtCore.Qt.ControlModifier) && (event.modifiers() & QtCore.Qt.AltModifier) && (event.modifiers() & QtCore.Qt.ShiftModifier)

Thanks so basically I can just do?:
if (event.modifiers() & QtCore.Qt.ControlModifier):
print "there is Ctrl in the current modifiers, not necessarily only Ctrl"

@lachdanan Yes, this is how bitwise operators work: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/bitwise-operators-in-c-cpp/

Maybe this works on PySide6:

if int(modifiers) & Qt.KeyboardModifier.ControlModifier:
    print("ctrl")

After 4 years?!?! what's the point of making the same suggestion again?
