Re: Response to Issue 659/660/386

Yes. Enter is certainly required to be available at any time. Simply 
having a form with a submit control on a page would fail your re-written 
SC as enter would submit that form. I would find it hard to argue that 
that is not a shortcut.

Space would generally scroll the page but you could argue that that is 
not something implemented by the content but by the browser. I would 
generally be happy with that - but I could see an argument being made 
that the fact that there IS scrollable content means that the shortcut 
is implemented by the content.

Note - you are also missing a "that" in the re-written SC.
