Thanks to both of you. I guess I will add some bindings, maybe in the form of a light minor mode.  Unfortunately the markdown mode fun tions just srent nearly as powerful as the org mode ones, but a little bit if improved muscle memory will be better than nothing I guess.

I think lentic is the wrong tool for this. I think it is most useful with mixed markups, e.g. code in some language, and comments in org/md/...

Your best solution in md is probably to create your own key-bindings that are similar to what you use in org-mode, but that use functions from https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/ to get something kind of close.

Just wondering whether the lentic mode
(https://github.com/phillord/lentic) with an org->md transformation
could help.  (I haven't yet used lentic, so I might be competely wrong.)

I'm CC'ing Phillip, who is the right person to comment on this idea.

Best,
