I frequently use the >8j and >8k commands to indent several lines at once. Using j, the lines are indented and my cursor stays at the first line.When I use k, the lines are indented, but my cursor gets moved to the first line.Is there a way to use >8k without the cursor moving up?EDITI've found this question Why does Operator + Motion behave inconsistently? which explains why this happens. Is there a way to automatically append an 8j? 
Indent Lines Up Without Moving
indentation;cursor movement
The biggest problem you're going to have is that apparently the > command doesn't set the jumplist (although I'm not sure why). We can hack it so that it does, but this is a little heavy handed so take it with a grain of salt.Basically we can do this with a couple of remappings:nnoremap > m'>nnoremap < m'<onoremap <expr> k v:operator =~ '>\\|<' ? 'k``' : 'k'The first two lines simply make the < and > commands set the jump listonoremap Create a non-recursive operator-pending mapping<expr> Allow us to use an expression in the mappingk Map kv:operator The command used to enter operator-pening mode. (In our case >)=~ '>\\|<' Only match if the operator is < or >'k``' : 'k' If the mapping was a < or >, then jump back one in the jump list after executing k. Otherwise just execute k. See :help Operator-pending, :help :map-<expr>, and :help v:operator for more info.
