The Shift, Option, Clover, and Caps Lock keys are not treated the same way
as other keys.  Rather, they are treated as modifiers.  If you use MacPaint
it becomes fairly obvious that they can act as modifiers to the mouse button,
and I believe (though I'm not sure) that each event record contains the state
of the modifier keys at the time the event was generated.
