Moving over conceal

Question

Is there a setting that allows you to move over concealed strings as if they were one (or even better: zero) characters? (This answer seems to suggest there's not.)

As it is, any movement can land on the concealment character. For example, fa will land on a following ceoncealment if it contains the character a, rather than skipping it to the next a on the line. This can be very annoying.

Answer 1

No, there is no such setting. Concealing only means to visually hide parts of your buffer, but that won't affect movements nor linebreaking.

"Fixing" this is in the todo list, but I wouldn't bet it will be implemented within the foreseeable future, as it will likely introduce even more conceal bugs.
