Switch to alternate screen buffer
Hi, this is difficult to google for. In a terminal window I oftenly pipe some progams output to vim or to less: $ someprg | vim - When the program fails and outputs an error message to stderr this will be overwritten by Vim. I know from some old Linux installations that Less and Vim are able to switch to an alternate screen buffer. They use the escape sequences \e[?1049h and \e[?1049l to switch back respectively. How can I activate this in FreeBSD? Thanks in advance.
