Un-mapping commands in Vim

vim

So I was looking for a way of indenting multiple lines in vim and someone suggested doing

:map <Tab> <

and all it does is insert the < character whenever I press tab (How did I not see it happen). I tried to do :map <Tab> <Tab> and :map <Tab> \t to bring back regular indenting, with no success. I am new to vim key mapping so I would really appreciate help. Also if someone could point out how to indent multiple lines in vim, that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!

:unmap <Tab> to get the default behavior back.

use :x>> to indent x number of lines (from where the cursor is)

The evil-shift-right command needs a beginning and end argument, with the requirement that the beginning argument is less than the end argument. One way of achieving this is the following:

(define-key evil-visual-state-map ">" (lambda ()
    (interactive)
    ; ensure mark is less than point
    (when (> (mark) (point)) 
        (exchange-point-and-mark)
    )
    (evil-normal-state)
    (evil-shift-right (mark) (point))
    (evil-visual-restore) ; re-select last visual-mode selection
))

(define-key evil-visual-state-map "<" (lambda ()
    (interactive)
    ; ensure mark is less than point
    (when (> (mark) (point)) 
        (exchange-point-and-mark)
    )
    (evil-normal-state)
    (evil-shift-left (mark) (point))
    (evil-visual-restore) ; re-select last visual-mode selection
))
