(I even bound other stuff on the arrow keys :) ). But you dont have to use Ctrl for it. Also ergoemacs mode is a worth looking there also this jkli is there. word wise you use u and o and so on. Hope that helps you. p.s. I think using right hand keys for that makes sense, cause you probably dont use mouse and arrow keys at the same time. either you scroll with the mouse or the keys but not both. so if you use the mouse for lets say scrolling, you have other commands on the left hand at the same time.
