I've done the same thing for years with Ctrl + Shift + arrow key to move the cursor around within a table. I just chose Ctrl+Shift because they are beside each other on the keyboard and I find it's an easy movement.
As an aside, I find the ability to create custom keyboard shortcuts one of the most useful features of Frame. It's saved me a lot of time and frustration over the years, not to mention thousands of mouse-clicks.
