Inside Macintosh I said:
If you wish to periodically inspect the state of the keyboard or keypad—say, while the mouse button is being held down—use the procedure GetKeys; this procedure is also the only way to tell whether a modifier key is being pressed alone.

Inside Macintosh Toolbox Essentials said:
In addition to getting keyboard events when the user presses or releases a key, you can directly read the keyboard (and keypad) using the GetKeys procedure.
