Documentation

Non-nil means commands that move by lines ignore invisible newlines.

When this option is non-nil, C-n (next-line), C-p (previous-line), C-e (move-end-of-line), and C-a (move-beginning-of-line) behave as if newlines that are invisible didn't exist, and count only visible newlines. Thus, moving across 2 newlines one of which is invisible will be counted as a one-line move. Also, a non-nil value causes invisible text to be ignored when counting columns for the purposes of keeping point in the same column by C-n (next-line) and C-p (previous-line).

Outline mode sets this.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
