Shift is the Shift, Alt, Ctrl modifier for the key code.

KeyDown calls the inherited method on entry. KeyDown ensures that the following Key codes are handled in the method:

VK_DOWN: Moves to the next node in the tree. Shift+Down includes the next node in the Selections property.
VK_UP: Moves to the previous node in the tree. Shift+Up includes the next node in the Selections property.
VK_HOME: Moves to the tree node at the top of the visible area. Shift+Home includes an affected range of nodes in the Selections property.
VK_END: Moves to the tree node at the bottom of the visible area. Shift+End includes an affected range of nodes in the Selections property.
VK_PRIOR (PageUp): Moves the first node on the previous page for the control. Shift+PageUp includes an affected range of nodes in the Selections property.
VK_NEXT (PageDn): Moves the first node on the next page for the control. Shift+PageDn includes an affected range of nodes in the Selections property.
VK_LEFT: Collapses the current node (when expanded) and moves to the parent node.
VK_RIGHT: Expands the current node (when needed), or moves to the next expanded node in the tree.
VK_ADD (NumPad Plus): Expands the current node. Shift includes the node in a multi-selection range when enabled in Options.
VK_SUBTRACT (NumPad Minus): Collapses the current node. Shift removes the node from a multi-selection range when enabled in Options.
VK_F2: Calls BeginEditing for the Selected node if the control is not ReadOnly.

If the key event is handled in the method, Key is set to VK_UNKNOWN.
