Re-select visual block after indenting

9 years ago

It's stupid that indenting or unindenting a visual block deselects the block. Automatically 'gv' (go to previously selected visual block) after indenting or unindenting.

vnoremap < <gv
vnoremap > >gv

select

This is awesome. Exactly that behaviour was driving me mad.

Thank you very much!

Wow. How did I not think of that for all these years. Why isn't this the default?

Or, in combination with Snippet #106:

vnoremap <Tab> >gv
vnoremap <S-Tab> <LT>gv

If you want continuous indenting, you can use . command after > command in visual mode.
