Thanks. I ended up adding the following to my rc.wmii.local

   fn Key-$MODKEY-Control-$LEFT { wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl grow sel sel
left }
   fn Key-$MODKEY-Control-$RIGHT { wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl grow sel sel
right}
   fn Key-$MODKEY-Control-$UP { wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl grow sel sel
up }
   fn Key-$MODKEY-Control-$DOWN { wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl grow sel sel
down}

   fn Key-$MODKEY-Mod1-$LEFT { wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl grow sel sel left
-1}
   fn Key-$MODKEY-Mod1-$RIGHT { wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl grow sel sel
right -1}
   fn Key-$MODKEY-Mod1-$UP { wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl grow sel sel up
-1}
   fn Key-$MODKEY-Mod1-$DOWN { wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl grow sel sel down
-1}
