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?
no idea but do
someprg 2>&1|vim -
