I'm confused: didn't you want C-f/C-b and the arrows to scroll images
in modes other than image-mode?  I mentioned image-mode only as
example of usage of set-window-hscroll, since image-mode already binds
the movement keys to a command that scrolls the image horizontally.
The idea was to use something similar in other modes, when an image is
present in the window.

Wasn't that what you wanted?  If so, why are you suggesting changes to
image-mode?
