Hi, in nivm I can duplicated selected lines (up or down) with:

    vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('v', '<S-A-j>',
":'<,'>copy'<-1<Return>gv", {noremap = true, silent = true})
    vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('v', '<S-A-k>',
":'<,'>copy'><Return>gv", {noremap = true, silent = true})

using following mapping in doom emacs fails (syntax error), but I'm
not sure why:

    (define-key evil-visual-state-map "\S-\M-j" ":'<,'>copy'<-1")
    (define-key evil-visual-state-map "\S-\M-k" ":'<,'>copy'>")

Executing  ":'<,'>copy'<-1" on cmdline on selection seems to work ok
(selected lines are duplicated).

&#x200B;

Here is similar working mapping that duplicates current line and it
works ok  (in normal mode):

    (define-key evil-normal-state-map "\S-\M-j" ":.copy.")
    (define-key evil-normal-state-map "\S-\M-k" ":.copy.-1")

Ok I solved it this way:

    (define-key evil-visual-state-map "\S-\M-j" "y'>p'[V']")
    (define-key evil-visual-state-map "\S-\M-k" "yP'[V']")

Still would be cool to know, why copy method did not work in first
post....
