Tabbing visual selection

by

You can prefix a number, ie. 2> to indent two tab stops. Or, you can use > to indent once, then . to indent again (this works even though the block is no longer highlighted). If you go too far, u will undo one step at a time.

Another useful command is gv to restore the last visual block if you need to apply a different command.
