shortcut for clearing terminal on mac

[djwgit]

people use cmd+k often to clear the terminal, possible to add that?

could use command clear, cmd+k is more handy tho.

thanks for this nice plugin!

Added in 9a384ff055709300069386258ff447fd27affbe9. The combination is Cmd+K on macOS and Ctrl+Shift+K everywhere else. You will need to update to 3.1.0 to use them.

I also added two extra hotkeys. You can see them in README.md:

• FInd in terminal: Ctrl+Shift+F, Cmd+F
• Focus/unfocus terminal: Ctrl+Shift+`, Cmd+`

@polyipseity thanks for adding this...

one minor thing on mac after Cmd+K, the terminal window does not have the shell prompt, as below

This is intentional. The command clears the terminal by removing all text instead of sending a clear command to the shell.

The reason why a clear command is not sent is because:

• It does not work when you are running a long-running program, like vim, unless you exit the program.
• It does not work when you have typed something into the prompt unless you clear it. Otherwise it will run (whatever you have typed)clear instead of clear, which is an invalid command.

I just looked at how VSCode handles this and they also seem to do the same except for one thing: They keep text on the line your cursor is currently on, which works for most cases. So I aligned the behavior to that, which will be available in the next release. (a4d36d59724b015c3899f9c37088f3e1efe67755)
