Jeff,

You are correct. No need for the CTRL key. Only the arrow keys would
suffice.

Typically, screen readers use the CTRL + left or right to read previous or
next word. The CTRL + Up or Down would be to read previous or next
paragraph.

If CTRL + arrow keys are implemented, they can conflict with screen readers
navigation scripts in a browser, thereby disabling the read word or
paragraph functionality.
