Does it mean we should drop Flatpickr and revert what has been pushed already?

It seems that their accessibility issues don't get much attention:

I do confirm that ctrl allows to navigate through days, however shift does
nothing for me. Alt does but conflicts with browser's shortcuts (tab switch).
