Is there a way to get the state of shift key while processing mouse events

[AlphaAmphib]

I am currently trying to write a generic DataList (DataTable) widget. At the moment, I created a new widget DataRow by copying and modifying iced::native::Row. For handling the mouse events I refer to the code of iced::native::button::Button. In the update method I check for mouse::Event::ButtonPressed.
Is there a way to get inside this match case the current state of the key modifiers ( I am interested in the shift key to detect multi row selection)?

`pub fn update(event:Event, layout:Layout<'a>, cursor_position: Point, shell: &mut Shell'<'a, Message>, on_press: &Option, state: impl FnOnce() -> &'a mut state) {

match (event) {

Event::Mouse(m_ev) => {
match m_ev{

       mouse::event::ButtonPressed(button) =>{
           //is it possible to get the state of the shift key
          // here
      }
  }

}
}

}`

I guess the standard way would be to catch the iced::keyboard:Event:ModifiersChanged event in the surrounding DataList widget and to propagate the shift key state to to the contained DataRows via an operation, correct?

Another question is related to the column widths. For the moment it would be sufficient to give the DataTable fixed unchangeable values at initialization. To be a bit more intuitive I would like to specify the column width in estimated number of characters. Does iced
have a helper to get the average character size in pixels for the font currently specified by the widgets theme?

Same thing is asked in #1868, but no answer yet. I think for now you'll have to keep track of modifiers events yourself and maintain their states separately.

At the moment there does not seem to be a more easy solution than the manual one proposed by lufte, therefore closed!
