How can you send control key combination to an element when using watir-webdriver?

Currently I am able to send a string to the element with the following code;

$browser.frame(:id,"ws-txt-editor").div(:id,"proxy").send_keys("\b")

or

$browser.frame(:id,"ws-txt-editor").div(:id,"proxy").send_keys(myAttrib[2])

but how do I send arrow keys or things like CTRL-A, CTRL-C or CTRL-V?

I am using watir-webdriver version 0.2.3.
