In terminal vim "!..." jumps back and forth to the terminal. I prefer to

background color in vim (a dark one) and terminal (rather light). And
there is a small delay time when eyes adjust to another contrast.
Well - at least you should update your documentation and tell people why
you're using such a workaround.
I'm not sure whether your code is worth a plugin. Eventually a tip on
the wiki is equally fine.
An alternative could be setting an env var in Vim and making your shell
set a background color in the terminal when run from within vim (env var
is set)
If you wan to add history and the like - then you may want to have a
look at additional plugins such as
[Conque Shell plugin](http://code.google.com/p/conque)
[vimproc plugin](http://github.com/Shougo/vimproc/tree/master/doc/)
Then you may have bash history and the like - but no more vi keys.
vim-addon-async is yet another simple buffer view of shell commands
also implementing a minimal history.
github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-views is a way to view shell command
outputs in vim buffers supporting refreshing by :e! and the like.

To each his taste. I use different colours in the konsole terminal
(black on pale yellow) and in Vim (as close as I can as in gvim, i.e.
black on white for Normal text and, of course, various colours for
syntax highlights) but I don't prefer to stay inside Vim. Typing :shell
or :!man foobar (etc.) make the colours change, telling me I'm back "in
the terminal", and it's a fully-featured terminal, not the "dumb"
teletype-like terminal :shell gives me in gvim.
This is not to say that Martin's request would be invalid: it probably
isn't; it's just that I prefer it otherwise, and indeed AFAIK even
implementing Martin's proposal wouldn't force me to change my ways, thus
making us both happy.
Best regards,
Tony.
