Switch tabs differently. This feels a little hackish, but it works in the quick testing I did. The cleaner <expr> mappings won't work because changing buffers during the map expression is not allowed.

fun! TabNext()
tabnext
return ''
endfun

fun! TabPrev()
tabprev
return ''
endfun

inore <A-Right> <C-R>=TabNext()<CR>
inore <A-Left> <C-R>=TabPrev()<CR>
nnore <A-Right> gt
nnore <A-Left> gT
