Since my latest dist-upgrade, my main workstation has developed the
obnoxious habit of restoring the screen to its previous state when I
exit curses-based apps. (Yeah, yeah... I know some people like it
that way. I don't.)
For less I can kill this behviour by passing it a -X:
---
-X or --no-init
Disables sending the termcap initialization and
deinitialization strings to the terminal. This is
sometimes desirable if the deinitialization string
does something unnecessary, like clearing the
screen.
---
This is good and all, but I want to kill it entirely, for all apps,
without having to track down the relevant parameter to pass each
one.
man 5 termcap, however, does not mention anything that looks
promising. What settings do I change in my termcap to make it stop
doing that?
