They are bound to moveToLeft/RightEndOfLineAndModifySelection: just like cmd+left/right. Also note that Apple internally has a distinction between lines and paragraphs , this binding will select to end of line rather than paragraph.

I would assume we have different keyboards, not being in the same part of the globe. Have you tried other unexpected combination of keys along with arrows to see if one of them matches the behavior? It's how I found ⌃⇧←/→ worked for my keyboard, only on webkit browsers and electron apps. Try alt control, command alt, command alt control, IDK, anything you can think of. If you find one that works, then you can solve the issue like I did with a third party software.

This is weird... I have the same chrome and Mac OS version. Do you have the expected behavior of ⌘ + ⇧ + ←/→ on TextEdit? The ⇧⌥ word selection has always worked but its not what we want : (

| Oct 13, 2022 at 10:12 | comment | added | Alper | Shift+Ctrl+←/→ makes no difference on my computer (Chrome v106.0 / Monterey v12.6) when trying to expand the selected text on a webpage. The only thing that helps, after selecting a few characters in the targeted text on a webpage with a mouse, is Shift+Alt++←/→ which expands selected text only one word at a time. This shortcut is also mentioned in one of the comments to the question. | |
