Support clearing the screen mid process (Reset + Clear)

Open nitaigao opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

CTRL-L will only clear the window when the bash shell is ready for a command.

If for instance you have a server process running with many logs, you need to clear the window to get rid of the clutter then currently its not possible unless you exit the process, hit CTRL-L and restart the process.

This is possible in Gnome Terminal with Reset + Clear and in OSX Terminal with CMD + K

moreover CTRL-L is the same as clear, which does not clear scollback.

Reset + Clear and CMD + K work like tput reset in bash, which does clear scrollback. Super useful
