In that case how about updating the commit message to be more clear about it. How about,

	It is possible to configure 'less', the pager, to use an
	alternate screen to show the content. When it is closed in this
	case, it switches back to the original screen, and all content
	is gone.

KIND NOTE TO THE NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER:

As I'm not a native English speaker myself, there might be mistaeks in
my usage of English. I apologise for any mistakes that I make.

It would be "helpful" if you take the time to point out the mistakes.

It would be "super helpful" if you could provide suggestions about how
to correct those mistakes.

Thanks in advance!
