(Get the code!)
Reproduced with Inkscape 0.91+devel r14192 on OS X 10.7.5. 'Shift' as modifier is part of the 3dbox user interface and affects the behavior when dragging a perspective handle:
« When a box is selected and the Box Tool active, a variety of handles are displayed. The eight handles at the corners of the box are used to adjust the size of the box. The four in front (see figure below) change the size of the left box face in the x-y plane. The other four change the depth (z) of the box. Holding the Shift down swaps the functions of the handles. With the Ctrl down, the handles are restricted in movement to lines along the box edges or to a box diagonal. This allows adjusting one dimension of a box face while keeping the other fixed in the first case or keeping the aspect ratio fixed in the latter case.
Dragging the Cross handle moves the box while keeping the same perspective. Without a modifier key, the box is kept in the x-y plane. Holding the Ctrl down while dragging limits movement to lines along the box edge or along the box diagonal. Holding down the Shift while dragging moves the box in the z direction. »
