+     * Installs DOM-level keydown/keyup listeners that synthesise
+     * keyup events for non-Meta keys whose natural keyup was
+     * swallowed by macOS while a Meta key was held.
+     *
+     * macOS suppresses keyUp events for non-modifier keys whose keyUp
+     * would occur while a Meta (CMD) key is held. THis is an OS-level
+     * behaviour inherited by Chrome, Safari and Firefox (open
+     * browser bugs dating back to 2011, still unresolved as of
+     * writing). The consequence in libGDX's GWT backend
+     * (DefaultGwtInput.java) is that its internal pressedKeys[]
+     * array gets stuck `true` for the un-released key. Typical
+     * symptom for Oric input behaviour: after CMD+X, X stays pressed,
+     * generating auto-repeat X inputs until the next plain X press.
+     *
+     * The workaround is to listen at the DOM level (capture phase, so 
+     * we run before libGDX's own document-level bubble-phase listener).
+     * On every keydown/keyup, observe event.metaKey to track Meta
+     * pressed/released. On the released transition, dispatch a
+     * synthetic keyup for every non-Meta key whose keydown we saw
+     * without a subsequent keyup. The synthetic events flow through
+     * libGDX's normal keyup handler, which clears its internal
+     * pressedKeys[] state. (Note that in the case where a non-Meta
+     * key is still held down when Meta is released, MacOS appears
+     * to generate suitable key events so they effectively appear as
+     * new key presses without the Meta modifier.)
