On Linux, when I exit Neovim, the content in the Neovim window is cleared. But on Windows 10, when I exit Neovim, the content is still shown and is not cleared, leaving a lot of empty space (see image below). By the way, I am using Neovim inside cmder.
I have searched with Goolgle, but can not find useful info. A related question is post here, but it is for Linux.
So how to clear the content of Neovim when I exit on Windows 10?
After more search about related issues. I have finally found a solution which works for Cmder. Open Cmder settings and go to Startup -> Environment, add the following settings:
set TERM=xterm-256color
Restart Cmder and the issue should disappear.
TERM only works if the terminal emulator is, in fact, emulating xterm-256color
It worked for me in PowerShell Core by adding
$env:TERM='xterm-256color'
to $PROFILE.
t_..., not sure if this works on Windows cmd. Unfortunately, neovim removed all those special terminal optionst_<...>, so cannot say it for neovim.
