+#### Don't lose selection when shifting sidewards
+
+If you select one or more lines, you can use `<` and `>` for shifting them
+sidewards. Unfortunately you immediately lose the selection afterwards.
+
+You can use `gv` to reselect the last selection (see `:h gv`), thus you can work
+around it like this:
+```viml
+xnoremap <  <gv
+xnoremap >  >gv
+```
+Now you can use `>>>>>` on your visual selection without any problems.
