Using Qt 6.5.4, I was not able to check the modifiers property for KeyEvent using the method stated in the documentation.

I was able to check the modifiers property using a simple equality check

Keys.onPressed: (event) =>
{
    if (event.modifiers === Qt.ShiftModifier)
    {
         console.log("Shift modifier active")
    }
}

In QML there exists the KeyEvent (see here for further details) that has a property named modifers.
It contains a bitwise combination of the available modifiers.

It follows an example taken directly from the documentation above mentioned:

Item {
    focus: true
    Keys.onPressed: {
        if ((event.key == Qt.Key_Enter) && (event.modifiers & Qt.ShiftModifier))
            doSomething();
    }
}

For the complete list of the available modifiers, please refer to the official documentation.
