Detecting shift with wait for key

[Gintaras]

To remap keys can be used keyboard triggers, unless you want to remap many keys.

-----------
wait() does not have an option to wait for several keys eg Shift+F8.
Your code does not work because when Shift is pressed it presses/releases (key (input)) Shift and therefore it is not pressed when F8 arrives.

-----------
To have full control, use keyboard hook.
Function remap_keyboard_LL_hook
