The difficulty is that these are already bound. That could be changed, 
but we try not to change the key bindings unless it's really necessary: 
People are already used to them. I just checked, and at least in the 
standard non-OSX file, everything involving Left and Right are bound.

What would make a lot of sense in LyX would be: Alt-> and Alt-<. We 
already use Ctrl-> and Ctrl-< for goto-type actions.
