Vim-altscreen

==============

Altscreen automatically toggles alternate screen features on you terminal.

No more `:!` output in the wrong place!

If you are using Vim in a terminal, you have probably noticed that the output

of external commmands doesn't go in the same "virtual screen" as Vim; Eg. if

you type `:!ls`, it looks as though you pressed ``, ran `ls` in the

shell, then resumed Vim once you pressed a key. And when you quit Vim, you

can see the output of all external commands you ran in Vim, which is 

generally not what you want.

This plugin ensures that the output of external commands run in Vim stays in

Vim's "virtual screen", and doesn't pollute your main "shell screen".
