My turn to help you  ;-)

M-x describe-key

then hit the key combo... you'll get a function name.

Now, in .emacsrc, or for us mac-users, Preferences.el...

(define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "C-M-<left>") 'foo)

where FOO is the name of the function you want to bind to the keystroke.

I'm sure one of the advanced elispers can improve on this, but it's a
start, and it works.
