No, not really. Didn't give it much thought and Shift just came to mind because it's close to Tab. But Ctrl should be fine too. And I can always redefine them later if I want. But at least Ctrl + Tab + k is already used for spelling the word under the cursor. So one could argue that a preceding Ctrl toggles a special function on the Tab + letter shortcut (like spelling) and therefore it should also be used for the big words (only relevant if you want to follow the big word idea of course): Tab + k = speak current word Ctrl + Tab + k = spell current word Shift + Tab + k = speak current big word Ctrl + Shift + Tab + k = spell current big word And if we use Shift for the current word commands, we then also have to use it for prev and next words - for consistency's sake. But maybe that's over the top, don't know. At least the last is a bit long. On the other hand the three modifier keys lay below each other and "spell current big word" should be the least often needed of this four commands.
