            All keyboard shortcut assignments have to have one actual key, along with 0 or more modifier keys. Ctrl and Shift are both modifier keys (so is Alt), and keyboard shortcuts cannot tell the difference between left-shift and right-shift, so you have to pick an actual key (from the drop-down choices) to go with it.

            You could choose something like Ctrl+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Shift+Right to use the left and right arrows in combination with the control and shift keys. However, both of those are usually mapped to select-word-left and select-word-right. At least in mine, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Right aren’t used, so you could map them to all three modifiers plus the left and right arrow keys.
