I'm afraid that I don't understand your request.

ctrl-v (move) o

already puts the cursor into the upper left hand corner, assuming that you started with the upper left hand corner.

ctrl-v (move) o  <esc> (move) gv

also puts the cursor back into the upper left hand corner (same assumption).

The "gv" already moves the cursor, so typing `< gv is the same as typing gv.

If what you want is to

 ctrl-v (move) <esc>   ...  gv

and have that end up with the cursor at the upper left hand corner, just follow it by an o ; ie.

 ctrl-v (move) <esc> ... gvo
