Chris CoyierI've typed `clear` into the terminal a million times. It's nice to start fresh sometimes. But I'm always mildly annoyed it only clears what you're looking at right now, you can still scroll back to older output. Sometimes you wanna HARD CLEAR so you can do something that causes output, then scroll to the absolute beginning to see what just this run did. Sometimes I would just open a new terminal, but I just learned `reset` is kinda like "hard clear". It's a smidge slow though. Better options?
JeffersonBledsoe@chriscoyier do let us all know if you find a solution, I’m fed up of hitting ENTER 20 times just to have enough vertical space above where I clear’d
@JeffersonBledsoe yes! That's the other classic technique
seanja@JeffersonBledsoe @chriscoyier can't you do something like:
alias hardclear='echo -e "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"; clear'
in your .bashrc or whatever?
