Hi,

When I use the following command to open something from stdin, it will
reset the content on the screen when I switch between terminals. Is
there a way to keep the content persistent while I switch between
terminals? Thanks.

seq 10 | { vim /dev/fd/$fd1 </dev/tty; } {fd1}<&0

What does that do that:

seq 10 | vim -

doesn't?

Not sure what you mean with

"reset the content on the screen when I switch between terminals".

But you may find :h xterm-screens useful. Or perhaps a terminal
multiplexer like screen or tmux may help.

Just giving some hints.
