ModifierType
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gdk





.. class:: ModifierType
   :no-contents-entry:






Flags to indicate the state of modifier keys and mouse buttons
in events.

Typical modifier keys are Shift, Control, Meta, Super, Hyper, Alt, Compose,
Apple, CapsLock or ShiftLock.

Note that GDK may add internal values to events which include values outside
of this enumeration. Your code should preserve and ignore them.  You can use
:const:`~gi.repository.Gdk.MODIFIER_MASK` to remove all private values.
