Looks good to me. With the Ctrl+scrollwheel changes, I was able to test
this by mapping <C-ScrollWheel{Up|Down}> to <ScrollWheel{Left|Right}>
and it seems to work fine in both term and GTK2.
The only thing I might change would be the symmetry of using 3 for the
default increment. Maybe 5 or 10 would be better for horizontal
scrolling? (With the default, horizontal scrolling seems much slower
than vertical scrolling.)

The new list of the default keys seems very cluttered with the tags
listed all on one line. The old layout also had the benefit of ':help
<S-MouseUp>', etc. jumping to exactly the right line.

I'll check to see whether either of my touchpads support horizontal
scrolling when I get home tonight.
