It is not a proper solution, but one can always change the default keys
that windmove uses (e.g. instead of shift+arrow use
super+arrow). Another alternative is to just manually bind the windmove
commands, as the minor mode has no functionality of its own.

The issue here is that a minor mode is being used, precisely to override
local keys. Otherwise you have the issue that you might switch to a
buffer using shift+right, but if that buffer overrides shift+left, the
intuitive reverse operation won't work.

Beyond just reverting the change, which I think is too radical, I am not
sure how this can be fixed.
