+1 to this. It’s also a bit cumbersome how it will unfold your section as you try to move things past it.

There is a workaround for moving the block itself: If you select the folded line, when you use the `Move line up` and `Move line down` commands, it will automatically block select the entire folded content, and move it as one. But, it also unfolds it.

(Also this seems familiar. I think there might be an existing FR, but maybe it’s worded differently.) Maybe this one, which has a lot of discussion: [Navigate, move, indent and unindent by heading](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/navigate-move-indent-and-unindent-by-heading/4202)

Related FR, but not about folded text: [Indent outline carries children](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/indent-outline-carries-children/2505)

Found it! I’ll merge this conversation into that thread.
