Well, word movement is bound to both M-left and C-left, so you'd have
to decide which half of Emacs users you annoy (personally I use
<C-left> for buffer switching, but thatʼs mainly because I donʼt use
M- much).

Other options off the top of my head:

C-, / C-.
C-< / C->
M-[ / M-]
M-{ / M-}

How do those interact with non-US keyboard layouts?
