support easy re-arranging of folded blocks

[mhchem]

I want to be able to easily reorder the definitions in a file.
I get the best overview about the structure of my file when everything is folded.
So, I want to be able to reorder the definitions (of functions, classes, etc.) in a file when it is folded.

Example:

• Open https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/vscode/master/src/bootstrap.js in editor
• Fold All

One can easily see the classes, interface, functions.

Now I want to rearrange them. This doesn't work.

If I select a folded function (2 lines) and want to move it with the keyboard, I can use 'Move Line Down' (Alt+ArrowDown), but that will not skip over folded blocks, but run into them.

If I try to move the selected block by mouse (drag&drop), the folding gets lost.

Same for the clipboard (cut&paste).

I don't see a single way to do what I want.

+1 to this request.

In general, there are a number of user gestures that apply to a single line. When the line in question is the head of a folded area, these apply to the first line of the folded area, which I'm pretty sure is never what anyone wants.

It would be great if all of these applied to the entire folded area, instead of just to the first line:

• Triple-click to select an entire line
• Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, or Ctrl-L to cut, copy, or clear the line the cursor is in (with nothing selected)
• Alt-Up and Alt-Down to move the current line up or down (with nothing selected)
