Summary

Fixes #18466

On macOS, pressing the CMD (Meta) key incorrectly reported keyCode 0 (unknown) instead of the correct values (91 for left CMD, 93 for right CMD). This is because the TypeScript KeyCode enum and key mapping tables were missing META_LEFT/META_RIGHT entries, even though the C++ native layer already handled these keys correctly.

Changes

  • cocos/input/types/key-code.ts: Added META_LEFT = 91 and META_RIGHT = 93 to the KeyCode enum, placed between KEY_Z = 90 and NUM_0 = 96 following numeric ordering. Values match the C++ definitions in EngineEvents.h.

  • pal/input/keycodes.ts: Added MetaLeft and MetaRight entries to the code2KeyCode mapping, enabling web platform to correctly map KeyboardEvent.code = "MetaLeft" / "MetaRight".

  • pal/input/native/keyboard-input.ts: Added 91 and 93 fallback entries to nativeKeyCode2KeyCode for native platform support when event.code is unavailable.

Why this matters

CMD is the primary modifier key on macOS — equivalent to Ctrl on Windows. Without this fix:

  • CMD+click multi-select in games doesn't work
  • CMD-based shortcut detection is broken
  • Any game relying on modifier key detection is broken on Mac

Verification

  • npx tsc --noEmit — No compilation errors related to the changes (pre-existing errors from missing native external type definitions remain)
  • npx jest — 161/161 suites fail identically to unmodified main branch (pre-existing test infrastructure issue)
  • Pure data addition: enum values + mapping entries, no logic changes

Test plan

  • Verify EventKeyboard.keyCode returns 91 when pressing left CMD on macOS (web)
  • Verify EventKeyboard.keyCode returns 93 when pressing right CMD on macOS (web)
  • Verify CMD key detection works on macOS native builds
  • Verify no regression on other platforms (Windows, Linux, mobile)

cocos#18466)

On macOS, pressing the CMD (Meta) key incorrectly reported keyCode 0 (unknown)
instead of the correct values. This adds the missing META_LEFT (91) and
META_RIGHT (93) enum values to the TypeScript KeyCode enum, and the corresponding
mappings in both web and native keyboard input handlers.

Closes cocos#18466

Add standalone verification script (verify-meta-key-fix.mjs) that validates
the complete keycode chain from macOS native layer through to TypeScript,
covering 29 checks across all 6 layers of the input pipeline.

Also add Jest test file for when the test infrastructure is fixed.
