Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3)

As in bug 4244859, you can't enter special characters in JTextComponents. The
bug fix provided there doesn't work for Macs, because Macs use *just* the Option
(alt) key, not Ctrl+Alt.

Also the Mac uses Meta for menu shortcuts, not Ctrl.

I think the best cross-platform solution is to block meta and (ctrl & not alt) -
this lets alt (Mac) and ctrl-alt (PC) chars through.
