For example, for the command ls --color
displays colorful results when being executed in the shell. However, when I call :!ls --color
inside vim, all color information is gone.
What should I do to keep the color when calling external command inside vim?
EDIT: To clarify my question, This is a question about VIM itself, I'm NOT actually asking how to enable "ls"'s color. What I want to know is, generally how to enable the display of colorful results of ALL shell commands(as long as they have colorful results).

For people who voted to close the question, would you please leave a comment on why you doing this? I read the FAQ and this question should be about "software tools commonly used by programmers". Maybe I misunderstood something, but I don't really think this question is off topic. – None – 2012-07-17T00:44:13.330

2Vim has ctags, indent and much more direct support for programming. Email does what directly for programming? – Jens – 2012-07-17T10:02:50.673
