Shift and mouse click

Question

I am trying to hold shift key and at the same time click with the mouse. I searched the internet and found a stackoverflow question about this. This is the post: Pyautogui - Need to hold shift and click

Also the code in this post was working for like three times!

Then suddenly it stopped working. It is really strange. I also tried it with pynput. Here is my post: Holding shift key + mouse click

It seems like holding shift and clicking the mouse are working seperately.

However, together it seems not to work

This is the code:

import pyautogui
import time

time.sleep(2)
pyautogui.keyDown('shift')
pyautogui.click()
pyautogui.keyUp('shift')

I am running on windows OS

It looks working fine? Maybe use more keydown('shift') will make it

I will suggest you not to use pyautogui.
Its easy and simple with other modules. Install keyboard(for controlling keyboard) and mouse(for controlling mouse)

Here is a sample code that does what you want:

import keyboard, mouse       #< Importing the required modules
keyboard.press("shift")      #< Presses and holds the key
mouse.click("left")          #< Makes Left click
keyboard.release("shift")    #< Releases the held key

Shift and mouse click
