It makes no sense to bind window navigation commands windmove-left/right to a sequence that is longer than 'C-x o'. However, for consistency with other existing commands in the 'C-x 4' keymap that are used to display a buffer in another window it makes sense to bind window directional display commands windmove-display-left/right to 'C-x 4 left/right'. This would be very useful to be able to override the default choice that is always the least recently used window that often not what you want to use.
