I assume he expects them to move the cursor left or right, at least
kinda approximately ... :]
I think that rebinding arrow keys (and other "basic" keys) is often done
badly, in that any new bindings should somehow have a similar "feel" to
the default bindings, even if the action is not strictly the same.
[A binding that changed left/right to do per-character horizontal
scrolling would be a big change, but it still preserves the "feel" to
some extent, so it might be acceptable for a read-only buffer.]
ibuffer's binding does seem pretty dodgy in this respect; with the
default display, hitting left/right simply appears to jump to the
beginning of the buffer!
