Thank you for suggestion @donneyluck,

I really want to have this behavior, however, when I tried the code above, I got a weird behavior on right shift:

Update

The behavior depicted above is also present in evi-shift-left. Maybe I need to report this upstream.

After all, I think sticking with the defaults might be better, see this answer:

1. You can restore the selection by pressing gv after indenting to get the selection back.

2. If you wanted to re-indent the selection press . (no need to re-select).

Option 1 works but is cumbersome

Option 2 got an error evil-repeat not work

I guess this problem may be caused by some hooks that automatically format buffers

The weird right shift behavior in Lisp modes was caused by parinfer-rust-mode, the commit a46a79f039d215d84f6fad17ba52159406ab0feb should fix this!

However, pressing "." do repeat the last command!
