Thank you!  I hadn't thought of that.   Entering M-right is
easy because I am already holding the Meta key with my thumb
so it is just a matter of continuing to hold the thumb and hitting
the right arrow key.

On a side note; I use C-p, C-n, C-b and C-f for my basic navigation
meaning the cursor keys are free for me so in org I bind them to:

 ,----
 | (define-key org-mode-map [left] 'org-metaleft)
 | (define-key org-mode-map [right] 'org-metaright)
 | (define-key org-mode-map [up] 'org-metaup)
 | (define-key org-mode-map [down] 'org-metadown)
 `----

Making re-organisation of the headings really fast.

Cheers,
Phil

When working with lisp, Ive found it convenient to bind the
numeric-keypad keys to s-exp movement and leave the cursor-movement
keypad keys to character movement. ie

(define-key lisp-mode-map [kp-left] 'backward-sexp)
(define-key lisp-mode-map [left] 'backward-char) ;; the default
etc

For org mode you may want to try something analogous like:

(define-key org-mode-map [kp-left] 'org-metaleft)
(define-key org-mode-map [left] 'backward-char) ;; the default
