Actually.. those cases are already covered by default keybindings for the
jQuery UI datepicker..

PAGE UP: Move to the previous month.
PAGE DOWN: Move to the next month.
CTRL + PAGE UP: Move to the previous year.
CTRL + PAGE DOWN: Move to the next year.
CTRL + HOME: Open the datepicker if closed.
CTRL/COMMAND + HOME: Move to the current month.
CTRL/COMMAND + LEFT: Move to the previous day.
CTRL/COMMAND + RIGHT: Move to the next day.
CTRL/COMMAND + UP: Move to the previous week.
CTRL/COMMAND + DOWN: Move the next week.
ENTER: Select the focused date.
CTRL/COMMAND + END: Close the datepicker and erase the date.
ESCAPE: Close the datepicker without selection.

What my patch does is allow the existing SHIFT + ARROW to continue working
whilst also mapping it to allow for just ARROW for more natural navigation.. 

The real issue here, is that there's not a universally agreed upon standard set
of keyboard navigation keys for accessible calendar widgets so we're just
trying to support a sensible variety.

It may well be worth documenting these keyboard shortcuts somewhere though..
