outline-minor-mode and org-mode capabilities for programming languages

[Christopher Dimech <dimech@gmx.com>]

There are some difficulties using outline-minor-mode and can do with some improvements.
As you declared, the key bindings are problematic.

Going through "https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OutlineMode", the  advantages of cycling
is discussed, referring to OrgMode and its many features.

The text also refers to outline-magic by Carsten Dominik that provides the command
"outline-cycle".

Would there be any interest in outline-minor-mode in remodeling for cycling using 
<tab> and moving around with M-up, M-<down>, M-right, M-left, with same effect as
OrgMode.

These types of functionalities (org mode for programming languages) will make it much
easier to navigate and modify the code quite rapidly.
