> While ctrl-shift-arrow might be supposed to be a logical operation, it currently performs as a visual operation. That is, ctrl-shift-right jumps (and marks) a whole word to the right and ctrl-shift-left jumps (and marks) a whole word to the left, irrespective of language choice (LTR or RTL). This is exactly what ctrl-right and ctrl-left should do (just without marking the text). As you fixed shift-arrow, causing this behavior of ctrl-shift-arrow, I imagine you are most familiar with the relevant code, so as to give ctrl-arrow this required behavior. Please help!

if you type in a bi-directional text, you will see that ctrl-shift-arrow is selecting word in logical order.
For example, logical text "abc def HIJ OPQ uvw xyz", visual display is "abc def JIH  QPO uvw xyz|" (capital letter represents Hebrew character).
if you continuously press ctrl-shift-left-arrow, the selected words will be
"xyz", "uvw xyz", "JIH uvw xyz", "JIH QPO uvw xyz"....
this is a selection in logical order.

And yes you are right that we are fixing the ctrl-arrow to be in visual order.
It is currently enabled in Chromium dev.
