Curious - what's the point of retaining the selection after indenting?

How do you select text then? I'm sure there are ways, but they are certainly not intuitive and I've never bothered to look them up since I don't do this task as often.
Do you mean "select text from whatever is displayed in the terminal" or "select text in Vim"? I never select or copy anything from the terminal: pbcopy on the Mac OS X and xclip on Linux are what I use to get stuff from the shell into the system clipboard. I don't think that's what you ask, but in Vim, visual selection is done by hitting v (character-wise), V (line-wise) and Ctrl-v (block-wise) followed by a motion o…

Sometimes you want to indent more than once. This remap is fine, but the idiomatic way to do this is just to use a period to repeat the last command. It doesn't hurt to get used to that.
My new favorite toy: http://gh.codehum.com/nosami/Omnisharp/ It's 'real' intellisense for Vim/C#. It's fairly new and rough around the edges, but works great once you get it going.
I recently switched to Vundle from Pathogen and it is a joy to use. Best part: you can bootstrap[1] Vundle from your .vimrc, turning the two-part "vimrc & plugins" configuration into a one-part "vimrc" configuration. https://github.com/gmarik/vundle/blob/master/test/vimrc
My approach also works even if git doesn't exist (by skipping vundler).
I need this since sometimes I work on systems that don't have every bell-and-whistle I could want.

Enter a number then any command to repeat it as many times as you want.
Here are my 2 cents set undofile " This creates a undo file that persists your undo history when the file gets closed imap >> " Double right arrow to escape from insertion mode. This is faster and more comfortable (at least for me) than to reach for tab key for some people set clipboard=unnamed " This is bridges between your Vim yanks and your system clipboard
undofile sounds great! I didn't know about it. Some people use jj to go to the normal mode. Personally I remapped Caps Lock to Escape in my whole system, so I can go to normal mode easily. You can yank to the system clipboard by providing appropriate register to yank into. You do that by pressing "* before the yank command (e.g. "*yy to yank the current line).
Does any vim plugin support context sensitive auto-complete like Visual Studio (auto-complete only with variables that are alive in the current block of code)? I code in perl and am currently using ctags for autocomplete, but it doesnt autocomplete based on the context.

The important bits are vim's built-in omnicomplete and neocachecompl
Omnicomplete by itself isn't bad. I haven't seen any excellent documentation explaining how it all works, but even without my .vimrc I use C-X-f a lot to complete filenames.
Ciao!
