Public summary
Add a desktop keyboard state API so ObjoBasic apps can tell whether modifier keys such as Shift, Control, Alt/Option, or Command/Windows are held while handling keyboard input. This makes combinations such as Shift+Down straightforward without relying on the last key name delivered to a KeyDown event.
