@D.BenKnoble I'm using kitty. On the other hand, I had set my TERM to xterm-256color, I guess for some compatibility reasons? Perhaps that may be related.

Actually, I like the sound of "Runnunf"

| Jul 1 at 20:26 | comment | added | D. Ben Knoble♦ | The problem probably comes from the terminal emulator terminfo entry. I don’t have this problem either. What terminal are you using? | |

@Friedrich I'm convinced that my behaviour is explained by this section of the gist ... The results are printed in the shell and clog our terminal's scroll buffer. .... This explains that the behaviour only manifests when grep output is more than a screenful. It would be unsurprisingly either if this exposed some problem in my scrollback config since I almost never use the scrollback, relying on vim's terminal scrollback.

I don't think it is ... pressing enter should make it go away. AFAIK, you can provoke this behavior e.g. by misconfiguring grepprg (which isn't the case, here). Anyway, I'm glad I understood your question correctly and I have no idea what's causing it :-D

| Jul 1 at 10:27 | comment | added | user22476690 | @Friedrich Yes, such a prompt appears, but even after dismissing the prompt with ENTER, the rest of my screen is cluttered with the garbled output of grep. This is explained by the section from romainl. | |

By default, Vim prints grep's output with "Press ENTER or type command to continue" on the bottom. That's the expected (default) behavior and pressing enter should make the output disappear. Does it? If yes, I simply misread your question.

@romainl I think your gist explains why this is happening. This bit of your gist ... is the fact that Vim executes the command in Vim's parent shell. This has a few consequences ... seems to explain the issue. Your gist even provides a solution; it should be the answer.

Funny. I cannot reproduce. Can you include the output of :version as well? What distro are you on? You mention something about "too much output"; how much is too much?
