I am not sure I understand, at least with transient-region turned on.  Typing <e will deactivate the region, so there is no effect.

You're correct. 

 

Or do you mean to actually put "<" into a keymap?

I actually do that in my personal config .. Maybe binding "<" in org keymap is the simplest way.

I have this function in my config bound to "<":

(defun modi/org-template-maybe ()

  "Insert org-template if point is at the beginning of the line,

or if a region is selected.  Else call `self-insert-command'."

  (interactive)

  (let ((is-region? (use-region-p)))

    (if (or is-region?

            (and (not is-region?)

                 (looking-back "^[[:blank:]]*")))

        (hydra-org-template/body) ;Wrapper function for `org-try-structure-completion'

      (self-insert-command 1))))
