I'm sorry but you can't actually detect when shift or enter is pressed.

You actually can, it's just not possible to detect backspace, control, alt, and a few other keys.
To detect if a shift or enter key is pressed, use this code:

<key (join [shift] []) pressed?>
<key (join [enter] []) pressed?>

Actually, it is not possible to detect shift, not even using that way.

However, you can make a “caps lock” button on the project and have the user use that to make capitals.

shift doesn't seem to work for me?

That's odd, I did it before. Guess I was using an extension or something.

I think it works if you use (name of extension censored) and have a specific addon enabled, but not otherwise.

i think I read somewhere that it’s because scratch doesn’t like supporting extensions because they’re outside of its control, so say if something bad happened with an extension then they don’t want to promote that??

could be completely missing the mark though

Scratch has an official policy that we are not able to reference/link any specific Addon/Plugin/Script that's a browser extension in the forum.

You are allowed to use them if you find them through google or watching a griffpatch video where he discusses the one he adds capabilities to.

The official policy has a good description of the computer access a browser extension might have, and how an untrustworthy extension could abuse those capabilities. Since the Scratch Team is unable to monitor outside Addon/Plugin/Script extensions, they've issued a blanket ban from linking them all in the forums.

Many scratchers are young and not computer savvy, and aren't in a position to judge the safety of one extension vs another. While inconvenient, we should understand the policy of not linking extensions here on the Scratch site, which parents regard as a “safe space” for young scratchers.

I think only keys like “[” work for that I have tried it before

This used to be possible through hacked blocks, but sigh..

It's Actually Kinda Possible To Use The Shift Key In Your Projects, All You Need Is The removed Extension

Please see https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/284272 and do not necropost.
Also, that’s not really a solution because of the fact that you need the extension to do that in the first place, or use a modification.

I don't know if I'm going crazy or not. I remember playing a 3d scratch game with a sniper and I remember that to zoom into the scope, you press the shift key. I remember going through and searching the project to find the code but couldn't (it was too complicated for me). I forgot about it and can't find the project anywhere.

Is this real? I'm trying to find a solution to my problem?
