FWIW, sighted people typically don't shift-arrow to select text on a page; there's no visible cursor in a browser without jumping through some hoops. So shift-arrow selection is an AT-specific kind of feature. I believe we've already stated that we will add shift-arrow support in the future. Right now, F8 is how you do it.
