DefaultKeyBinding.dic no longer remaps ctl arrow windows shortcuts after MacOS update

On my macbook I use DefaultKeyBinding.dict to remap about 12 keys to what they would be in Windows.

However, after my update to MacOS Ventura, the remappings for moveWordLeft and moveWordRight stopped working. I read somewhere that DefaultKeyBinding.dict now refers to those functions as moveWordForward and moveWordBackward, so I updated accordingly but it still doesnt work. All other keys still work fine. Here is what I have tried

"^\UF702" = moveWordLeft:;
"^\UF703" = moveWordRight:;

which was updated to

 "^\UF702" = moveWordBackward:;
 "^\UF703" = moveWordForward:;

How can I get this to work again?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.6
