vnoremap gb <esc>`<lt>:exec 'norm '.visualmode().'`>'<cr>
which gives you a "Go to the Top" and "Go to the Bottom" mapping within
visual mode.
Won't they move the boundary of the visual area together with the cursor?
Not from my testing...
[ed: a hush falls over the mailing-list...Tim actually tested
this response?! :) ]
Perhaps a diff. setting between our setups if you're experiencing
drifting?
Other than the peculiar caveat regarding blockwise visual mode,
it worked for me. Even in blockwise mode, it successfully went
to the top, but wasn't always the top-*left* anchor.
Note that the ">" and "<" marks are jumped-to with the back-tick
(rather than a regular apostrophe) which remembers column
information as well, so when "gt" is run/expanded/executed, it
1) leaves visual mode
2) jumps to the exact anchor position of the bottom/top mark
3) enters the previous visual-mode as returned by the
visualmode() function
4) and then jumps to the previous exact anchor position of the
top/bottom mark
