Hello Stefan,

I am aware of the unfortunate implications of these bindings.
Originally I avoided these bindings for the exact reasons you mention
and I hoped I could do without those (only binding RET/TAB and
remappings). However I have to use these keys since Org-mode seems to
override these keys too. Otherwise my keymap will not take precedence
over the Org-mode keymap.
