See the documention at here. There’s a - (NSUInteger)modifierFlags method that returns the modifiers for the event. An you’ll find the modifier flags here.

Edit some sample code to get the key :

-(void)keyDown:(NSEvent*)event {
    NSString * character = [event characters];
    unichar keyCode = [character characterAtIndex:0];
    NSLog(@" - Keydown -\n    >>%@<< ->> %c %i<<",character,keyCode, keyCode);
}
