Feature Request: Icon trash to clear REPL History

[mefryar]

Describe the feature requested This is a feature request rather than a bug report. It would be nice to be able to clear the REPL window. Because error messages can be quite long, when iterating on tests, it helps me to clear the REPL window after each test so I can easily navigate between the beginning of the error message and the end of the error message.

Expected behavior A trash can icon exists, as in Cursive.

Hey @mefryar, thanks for bringing this! We already have a command to clear the REPL ctrl + l, but I think that is not documented 🫣 sorry

But I will keep this issue open to implement the trash icon.

Thanks for the fast response @afucher! I tried ctrl + l, but it didn't work as expected for me.

Hey @mefryar , you need to have the focus on the REPL window. For now, we do not have a global shortcut to clear the REPL. Have you tried ctrl+l with the cursos on the REPL window ? If no, can you please try it again?

[mefryar]

I realized that I had a keyboard shortcut enabled to map ⌃L to simulate a right arrow keystroke. Now that I've disabled that ⌃L works to clear the REPL window!

BTW @afucher I think we can have a action for that, so we can clear the reply history from any window
