I'd like to execute an evil-ex command from another command. Specifically, I'd like to do :'<,'>move'>+1 but when I do, it doesn't quite do the right thing. Instead of moving the text down, it moves it one line from the top of the file.

Here's what I'm using:

(defun evil-visual-move-line-down ()
  (interactive)
  (evil-ex-call-command
   (evil-ex-range (evil-ex-line (evil-ex-marker "<") nil)
                  (evil-ex-line (evil-ex-marker ">") nil)) "move" "'>+1"))
(define-key evil-visual-state-map (kbd "J") 'evil-visual-move-line-down)

From Frank Fischer himself:

(define-key evil-visual-state-map "J"
  (concat ":m '>+1" (kbd "RET") "gv=gv"))
(define-key evil-visual-state-map "K"
  (concat ":m '<-2" (kbd "RET") "gv=gv"))
