how to clear the screen after exit vim

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.

Solution

  • There is a way to do more stuffs by editing your .vimrc file

    Add this to your .vimrc

    command Qc :call ClearAndExit()
function ClearAndExit()
    :!clear
    :q!
endfunction

    use :Qc to quit.... it will clear the screen as well
