AnkitaSharma88 commented 4 years ago

Issue Type: Bug

  1. open terminal
  2. Enter a few commands like node app.js or nodemon server.js etc etc.
  3. type cls and hit enter
  4. It should clear the terminal view but am still able to view the command by scrolling.

And that's exactly how the cls command works. Try it out in the Command Prompt (outside of VS Code).

On windows, it will clear the terminal in when using cmd or PowerShell directly(without VSCode).
