That is an idea, but with the fast update schedule of Org, this would
quickly lead to a big mess in prompts and settings to be made, so I
do not think this is practical.

The issue with org-agenda-keymap and org-agenda-mode-map has to
do with the mouse - maybe this is not really necessary - I made this  
when I did not really understand keymaps very well, a looong time  
ago.  I'll take another look.
