The whole point of using :silent with a shell command is to avoid the
redraw. It may cause the hit-enter prompt to show up. See the
documentation:
Vim redraws the screen after the command is finished,
because it may have printed any text. This requires a
hit-enter prompt, so that you can read any messages.
To avoid this use: >
:silent !{cmd}
< The screen is not redrawn then, thus you have to use
CTRL-L or ":redraw!" if the command did display
something.
