Yes, you are right. My example isn't exactly correct. You must poll each 
key in a seperate cycle of exotica. That's why you need the shift 
variable.
here's a better example:

-- SNIPPET --
while 1 do
if aActive()=1 then
 dinput_update()
 if keyboard_keystate(DIK_LSHIFT) or keyboard_keystate(DIK_RSHIFT) then
   shift = 1
 elsif shift and keyboard_keystate(DIK_1) then
    -- EXCLAMATION PRESSED
 end if
end if
 if exotica_error() then exotica_abort(1) end if
end while
-- END --
