PR Summary
Fixed key combination handling in the Stagehand agent to properly manage CTRL+A and DEL sequences when clearing input fields, particularly for OpenAI's computer-use-preview model.
- Added special case in
/lib/handlers/agentHandler.tsto handle meta key combinations by pressing keys simultaneously - Modified key mapping to use Meta on macOS and Control on other platforms
- Fixed issue where CTRL+A was incorrectly typing extra 'A' character in input fields
- LIMITATION: Implementation only works on Linux and macOS, not Windows
- IMPORTANT: Ensure users are aware of platform-specific behavior for key combinations

logic: Always mapping CTRL to Meta will break Windows functionality. Need to handle Windows platform separately instead of ignoring it.

style: Key release order should match press order for consistent behavior. Currently pressing in forward order but releasing in reverse.

why
OpenAI's computer-use-preview model tends to clear any input fields before typing in by running CTRL+A and DEL. However, the agent handler does not handle the meta keys properly resulting in extra 'A' typed in the field.
what changed
a special case for keys arrays including the meta key in the agent handler
caveats
[IMPORTANT] This PR completely ignores Windows machines and only works for Linux and MacOS.
