vim doesn't preserve the terminal content
I use vim both on Linux and FreeBSD. On Linux after I exit vim original screen content is restored. On FreeBSD vim leaves the last content viewed in vim. How do I make vim preserve the screen?

On Linux after I exit vim original screen content is restored. On FreeBSD vim leaves the last content viewed in vim. How do I make vim preserve the screen? The easiest way is to use a terminal with standard support for alternate screens, like rxvt. I don't know how to do that, but it is one Lunix (bash?) feature that I hate and would like to know how to change it to function the way it does under FreeBSD (tcsh). This has to do with the terminal capability strings ti and te. Xterm and the FeeBSD console don't have them defined in /etc/termcap (or they are empty). I don't know if syscons even supports alternate screens. Here is some (linux specific) info about it: http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/noaltscreen.html Hope this helps, Pieter de Goeje ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
