Sometimes vim will leave something, i.e. press any key to continue, on the terminal and is there any way to return to a clear terminal after exiting vim? I am new to vim and please tell me exactly what I should do. Sorry I did not express my idea clear enough the first time. What I actually want to ask is that is there a way to return to a clear terminal after typing :q in vim without further input of commands. I am using VIM 7.4 in Ubuntu, terminal type is xterm.

Add to your ~/.vimrc: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>au VimLeave * :!clear </code></pre>
