At that point, the <prefix> <left> and <prefix> <right> keys no longer

AFAIK these commands cycle through the list of buffers, so I think of it
as a circle, and I'd rather use keys like <clockwise> and
<counter-clockwise>.
You probably said that in jest, but there are in fact many keyboards
that feature rotary encoders that can emit key or mouse events when
turned, and people do configure those to switch tabs in browsers,
among other uses. (On the wire, it still looks like Ctrl+PgUp and
Ctrl+PgDn, because that’s what browsers and editors expect.)
Yeah. I've been meaning to hook up a https://monogramcc.com/ to Emacs
for a while now. There'd be something viscerally satisfying about going
back and forth in undo history using that large rotary dial. Sadly, no
Linux drivers yet. :-(
