When you press ":" in visual mode it is normal vim behaviour that ":'<,'>"
shows up.
'< -- is the position of the starting point of the visual area
'> -- is the position of the ending point of the visual area
:'<,'> is the range for the command you want to type
You can read more about ranges with ":help cmdline-ranges".
Best,
Marcin
