-Switching screens in an xterm *xterm-screens* *xterm-save-screen*

-(From comp.editors, by Juergen Weigert, in reply to a question)

-:> Another question is that after exiting vim, the screen is left as it
-:> was, i.e. the contents of the file I was viewing (editing) was left on
-:> the screen. The output from my previous like "ls" were lost,
-:> ie. no longer in the scrolling buffer. I know that there is a way to

-:> I just don't know how. Helps are appreciated. Thanks.

-:I imagine someone else can answer this. I assume though that vim and vi do
-:the same thing as each other for a given xterm setup.
-
-They not necessarily do the same thing, as this may be a termcap vs.
-terminfo problem. You should be aware that there are two databases for
-describing attributes of a particular type of terminal: termcap and
-terminfo. This can cause differences when the entries differ AND when of
-the programs in question one uses terminfo and the other uses termcap
-(also see |+terminfo|).
-
-In your particular problem, you are looking for the control sequences
-^[[?47h and ^[[?47l. These switch between xterms alternate and main screen
-buffer. As a quick workaround a command sequence like >
- echo -n "^[[?47h"; vim ... ; echo -n "^[[?47l"
-may do what you want. (My notation ^[ means the ESC character, further down
-you'll see that the databases use \E instead).
-
-On startup, vim echoes the value of the termcap variable ti (terminfo:
-smcup) to the terminal. When exiting, it echoes te (terminfo: rmcup). Thus
-these two variables are the correct place where the above mentioned control
-sequences should go.
-
-Compare your xterm termcap entry (found in /etc/termcap) with your xterm
-terminfo entry (retrieved with "infocmp -C xterm"). Both should contain
-entries similar to: >
- :te=\E[2J\E[?47l\E8:ti=\E7\E[?47h:
-
-PS: If you find any difference, someone (your sysadmin?) should better check
- the complete termcap and terminfo database for consistency.
