mouse vs key

[Tom Eugelink]

And I need to use the mouse and key events, because only registering the shift key state in the on-mouse or on-key but keep using the selectedProperty does not work, because the togglebutton doesn't toggle the state when shift is pressed.

I used work based on the selectedProperty, but it does not give me access to the actual event (and the shiftDown flag) that caused it. So now I'm binding to the on-mouse-release and on-key-release, but the on key release executes too early.
