I'm a writer, not a coder, but I use this to move a single line (which usually means a whole paragraph for me in Markdown) to the bottom of the file and then come back to the same neighborhood. Also opens the fold if there is one. A Vim wizard will probably show us how to do it in Vimscript.

" Line To Bottom:
" Moves a single line of text to bottom.
" ,e mneumonic "end"
" Put cursor on line you want to move.
" kmz - k moves up one line and mz drops a mark z
" j moves back to the line that needs moving
" :m (move line), $-2 (to two lines before end $),
" zo opens the fold if it's closed
" o (add a blank line below)
" <Esc> re-enter normal mode, 'z (goback to mark z)

nnoremap ,e kmzj:m $-2<cr>zo<Esc>'zzo
