I don't know about the actual keycodes, but my shift keys do seem to
produce different modifier values (131330 and 131332), as displayed in
the attached screenshot. So you might be able to do your thing by
polling the modifier keys' state.

(The screenshot is from my own little key codes utility, which I can
send to you, if you're interested in giving it a try.)

Cheers,

Peter.
