Visual mode repeat #48
Description
I was trying to make these mappings repeatable:
xnoremap < <gv
xnoremap > >gv
My initial stab at this was:
xnoremap <silent> <Plug>DedentAndReselect <gv
\ :silent! call repeat#set("\<Plug>DedentAndReselect")<CR>
xmap < <Plug>DedentAndReselect
Alas, entering command mode in order to invoke repeat#set knocks us out of visual mode, undoing the desired effect of the gv.
I tried a number of different hacky workarounds in an attempt to get this to work, but without success.
Does this seem like something that should be possible with vim-repeat?

I've been trying to repeat a visual mode move, like this:
but I haven't been able to get it to work. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or it's just not supported, but any help is much appreciated!

Same here, I think.
For example, when editing an example HTML file:
v2eso that vim selects 2 words (although for this example I could just as well selected 1 word)S<b>so that those 2 words get wrapped in bold tags..That should result in placing the 2 words following the cursor in bold tags like they did the other 2 words. But unfortunately it repeats an action unrelated to the plugin.

Looks like somebody made a plug-in for this, although I haven't tried it: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3848
