> every (single) headphone cable going to the left can.

FWIW a number of studio headphones support plugging in a cable to either can rather than restricting you to just the left one, if you want to go that route. V-moda sells a few pairs like this and denotes the feature as "dual inputs".

It's still annoying if you're right handed and trying to write something by hand on paper in front of the laptop.

Get an extension and just route it around the back.

Bonus: if you get up from your desk while wearing headphones, you don't have to worry about pausing or muting the audio. The laptop thinks you're still plugged in.
