In recent Org releases, all keybindings are located in the same
"org-keys.el" file. So it sounds easy enough to create minor mode that
basically undoes what Org does.
However, from the Org perspective, this would be rather pointless, if
not self-defeating. The very purpose of this major mode is to provide
tooling (including bindings) to operate on Org files, i.e., text files
written in Org syntax. I think removing most of these tools would create
a terrible editing experience for no benefit. For example, having RET
inserting a plain newline would be a disaster in many locations (e.g.,
on a headline, in a table).
While I invite you to implement and test the minor mode you are
suggesting, I think ignoring what Org needs is a dead-end. It would be
more beneficial to start from those needs, and think about what can be
done to reconcile them with usual Emacs' ways. For example, Org expects
a specific, context-aware, "newline and indent" function. But it could
include support for Electric Indent mode. Would Someone™ want to help in
that area?
WDYT?
