	if ((KB_SHIFT_FLAG & key_shifts) && (KB_CTRL_FLAG & key_shifts))
		printf("Shift and CTRL Pressed\n");

where key_shifts contains a bunch of flags. Note that the bitwise & is
used to extract the flag, and the logical && is used to combine them
so that both must be non-zero for the test to pass. The extra parenthesis
will be appreciated by future maintainers of your code.
