I think he's meant this block:

<key [shift v] pressed?>

It would be nice for Scratch to have Shift, Ctrl, Alt, etc. inputs in this block. What we can only use inputs using this block is only numbers and letters.

Also, speaking of which, there a lot of duplicates related to this topic that suggest for more inputs.

shift byte() ()digits

No a shift register is like a thing that shifts a byte of information back a space.

e.g. 1011001 shifted 1 back would be101100.

well its for information like binary
Binary is split into bytes they look like this: 10001110

// function source
function shift(string, n) {
  return string.slice(0, 0-n);

// in practice
console.log(shift("1011001", 1));

So if I got this right:

// function source
function shift(string, n) {
  return string.slice(0, 0-n);
}
// in practice
console.log(shift("1011001", 1));

“shift” would be a very very limited function. This might be what you mean?

Did you know that shifting 1 bit to the right is essentially the same thing as dividing by 2?

Actually that is not true because you would need to divide the other bits and then a bunch of problems happen.
