Switching between buffers in the single LyX window seems most like switching between tabs in an internet browser. There are three models here:
1. Safari uses <cmd><shift>left/right-arrow for this; this conflicts with the Mac standard keybinding for select to beginning/end of line.
2. Camino uses <cmd><opt>left/right-arrow; this conflicts with the current mac.bind keybinding for increase/decrease environment depth.
3. Firefox uses both <ctrl><tab>, which can't be accessed with the LyX keybindings, though <opt><tab> can and is otherwise unassigned.
So I propose that <opt><tab> (M-Tab) and <opt><shift><tab> (M-BackTab) be used for switching between buffers in mac.bind. This would parallel the use of <cmd><tab>, which is the Mac standard keybinding to cycle between applications. (Another option would be to go with cua.bind's <cmd><page-up/down>, which is also currently unassigned.)
Any better ideas?
