:help :! says:
:silent !{cmd}
The screen is not redrawn then, thus you have to use
CTRL-L or ":redraw!" if the command did display something.
The last part ("if the command did display something") is not true.
In console vim, screen is always grabled after ':silent !CMD"
even if CMD did not print anything. (try ':silent !true' after ':help
help').
The correct wording would be:
:silent !{cmd}
The screen is not redrawn then, thus you have to use
CTRL-L or ":redraw!" even if the command did not display anything.
