I can't believe someone might want to use such long key sequences
for one of the most frequent actions.  It's even longer than
'C-x o' it's supposed to improve.  I think there are no better keys
for switching windows than arrows with a modifier.

Since all keybindings in the 'C-x 4' keymap are for commands
that display a buffer in another window, 'C-x 4 LEFT/...'
could do the same to display the buffer of the next command
in the specified window.
