It's a bit trickey if you havent done it before. Someone might know a faster/easier way...?
I do it by setting up an alterable value to store how long the key can be pressed for... It's sort of hard to explain, so I'll upload an example..........

Bleh, there's a problem with the new beta that's come out, when I try to do it MMF crashes. I'll have to report it and get back to you on that example.

If you don't mind not using your own custom engine, use the PMO that can implement variable jumping.
Or custom:
~pressed ctrl - alterable value a = 10
~repeat while ctrl is pressed - alt.b = alt.b + 1
+altb<20
player collides with ground - alt.b = 0
Then just add your own gravity and that should work, providing you use alterable val a as your jumping counter. Btw i just thought of this then and i haven't tested it so it might not work :/.

Have A for Vert movement and C for jump counter.
Bottom collider overlapping ground:
Set A to 0
Set C to 5
Set Flag 1 On
Always:
Set Y pos of player to (Y pos + A)
Repeat while pressing shift:
+C is greater then 0
+Flag 1 is on
+every 4/100 second
Subtract 1 from C
Subtract 1 from A
Bottom collider is not touching ground:
+ (X) Repeat while pressing shift
Set Flag 1 off
Simple as Pie (and pie is easy)
AA: is that what you said? I tried to explain it more
deeply if so. Otherwise I post this as another way.
(PS: I left B for Horz movement)

It's not that hard, just have to think around clickteam products. Make sure it's only done when the jumping animation is playing, otherwise the character will float slowly towards the ground.
Craps, I'm an old man!
