Adobe supports a more clearly scoped version of 3-SS. Providing visual
indication of keyboard shortcuts is beneficial, but has the potential to
be overwhelming in some situations. With complex controls there may be
several shortcuts - for example a calendar control may have shortcuts
for moving to the first or last dates in a month, moving to the next
month, moving to the next year, as well as shortcuts for selecting
contiguous and non-contiguous date ranges.

Adobe recommends that 3-SS be an advisory note.
