Does anyone out there know of a way to detect if the 
control key is down. I am interested in writing some text to
the minibuffer when any or any combination of the ctrl,shift,alt
key is/are down. 

The reason is that I use the imouse package which I think is
great, but since I am somewhat forgetfull it would be nice
if after the ctrl key has been depressed for a couple of seconds
the minibuffer shows what the left, middle and right button
do!

Has someone already done this?

Any hints would be much appreciated.
