But this means you can't type all these keys on heading lines?
This is why I confugured it not to use self-inserting keys:

  (let ((map outline-mode-cycle-map)
        (cmds '(("M-<down>"  outline-next-visible-heading)
                ("M-<up>"    outline-previous-visible-heading)
                ("M-<left>"  outline-hide-subtree)
                ("M-<right>" outline-show-subtree))))
    (dolist (command cmds)
      (define-key map (kbd (nth 0 command))
        `(menu-item
          "" ,(nth 1 command)
          :filter ,(lambda (cmd)
                     (when (outline-on-heading-p))
                       cmd))))))

Do you suggest different keymaps?  And indeed, these two are
quite different beasts each with own problems.  So we need both
outline-mode-cycle-map and outline-minor-mode-cycle-map.
