Since the original CFC, this has been updated to remove the mention of the 
shift key, and to remove the mention of space and enter (see specific 
commit here: 
https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/pull/732/commits/4f7d83ea030329529ede8f0f577abf51a18745a7

If you have concerns about this proposed consensus position that have not 
been discussed already and feel that those concerns result in you “not 
being able to live with” this decision, please let the group know before 
the CfC deadline.
 
Thanks,
