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?
EDIT
I've found this question Why does "Operator" + "Motion" behave inconsistently? which explains why this happens. Is there a way to automatically append an 8j?
