pure markdown? clicking hyperlink opens link & frontmatter

[mptpro]

Is it possible to have "pure markdown" in the editor?

Two examples,

1. When using frontmatter in the editor such as:

---
title: 11. Invest & Forget
---

it shows...

...instead of the actual frontmatter text. I have to move to the first line and blindly delete one of the dashes "-" to see the markdown text.

2. When clicking inside of a makrdown url to edit it, such as

Watch [url](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7g).

...it opens the url instead of letting me edit it. I have to position the cursor at the end of the line and left-arrow to the area I need to edit.

I have "Live Preview" turned off.

Thank you.
