Re: How can I keep vim from keeping context

Should't you ask a different question: How do I configure Vim to use
colors I can read?
Otherwise just use :syn off? Talking about :messages (red echoe
lines?).. Don't know about this.

So what ? do gg and continue?
Don't you have to add some additional lines to force this behaviour?
retry with clean vim:

vimClean () {
vim -u NONE -U NONE -N "$@"
}

and that behaviour should be gone.

Usually you want error messages because they are helpful.

Defining "being stupid" is as hard as defining "being smart".

Learn some more VimL and your problems should be solved ?
