I've been trying to experiment with using :make recently but I don't like that vim has to switch to showing the shell output first and require one enter keypress, then it shows me what I think is a list of the collected errors based on 'errorformat' which I also need to confirm by pressing enter. I would prefer to just have a short "OK" message that does not require confirmation by a keypress, or that vim would open the :cwindow if there were any errors.

Try:
:silent make
To automatically open the quickfix window after you run make, you can put this into your .vimrc:
autocmd QuickFixCmdPost * :copen

I already tried :silent make but it just makes the vim window completely black (vim's command line and laststatus is still shown) so I have to call :make to get the buffer to be shown in the window again.
