Add action to "clear" screen #21

Open yesezra opened 11 years ago

Reload does this currently, but should there be a call to clear the screen without reloading?

mick commented 11 years ago

Like a call that would cause the screen to go blank? (All black)

Would it also clear the default?

yesezra commented 11 years ago

I was thinking something more like "reset to default." For example, if a youtube video is playing, this action would stop it and set the screen to the default. Clearing the default could be an extra parameter, or a a separate API call?

I think these are 2 separate calls. one to return to default (stop current) and one to reset the screen to blank (clear default, black screen)
