I have some key mappings for the block of code up and down

vnoremap J :m '>+1<CR>gv=gv
vnoremap K :m '<-2<CR>gv=gv

So I tried to do the same with H and L

vnoremap H <V
vnoremap L >V

It not actually what I want( Shift the code but still stay in visual mode).

  • You should modify your title to be more specific. By shift, you mean move blocks of text up and down, not left and right.

  • Frankly I find it easier to push < and then . as needed. But I don’t use visual mode as often as perhaps you do

If you are about shifting block of text left or right then :h gv you are using for the J and K does what you want: reselects previous visual selection:

xnoremap H <gv
xnoremap L >gv

Note, xnoremap instead of vnoremap is preferred unless you also want those mappings in SELECT mode too.
