The hotkey() function only works with keys. To shift-click, you need code like this:

import pyautogui
pyautogui.keyDown('shift')
pyautogui.click()
pyautogui.keyUp('shift')

Something really weird happened to me. I copied the code. It worked like twice then it stopped working for some reason. Any idea why? – teller.py3 Jun 06 '19 at 08:13
try with ` `pyautogui.keyDown('shift')` `pyautogui.mouseDown()` `pyautogui.keyUp('shift')` `pyautogui.mouseUp()` – okie Oct 25 '19 at 05:45

I tried the solution above but for some reason keyDown('shift') didnt work. I used the solution in this thread: keyDown function not working with shift key

pyautogui.keyDown('shiftleft')
pyautogui.keyDown('shiftright')
pyautogui.hotkey('right','right','ctrl','up')
pyautogui.keyUp('shiftleft')
pyautogui.keyUp('shiftright')
