'Import Experimental HTTP Extension' File Menu entry does not appear while holding shift key #2

The "Import Experimental HTTP Extension" menu entry does not appear under the File menu while holding the Shift key.

Environment Linux Mint 19 x64

Steps to reproduce Open Scratch and start a new project. Press and hold the shift key. While holding, click on the File menu and observe that the "Import Experimental HTTP Extension" menu entry is not present.

Expected Result Upon holding shift, and clicking the File menu, the "Import Experimental HTTP Extension" should be present.

Actual Result The File menu appears as it does when the Shift key is not held, without the "Import Experimental HTTP Extension" entry.

Additional Info The document that makes reference to the shift = new menu entry is linked below. It is the Tello Drone Scratch Instructions:

After some digging, I've found that the "Import Experimental HTTP Extension" is currently only a feature present in Scratch 2. Scratch 2 can be found at https://scratch.mit.edu/download/scratch2, at the time of this writing.

Holding the shift key in V2 has the expected result, and it appears users desiring the "Import Experimental HTTP Extension" functionality must use V2 for now.

Curious if any consideration is being given to v3 on this ? I'm curious to use the Tello extensions for flying the drone with Scratch, and this appears to be the only way to accomplish that.
