File -> New #18

Menu button File -> New does nothing, maybe should clear the console

tmhglnd commented 4 years ago

Good idea. I at first let it do nothing since I don't want to add an extra editor for example. But clearing the editor might be a good idea, although also potentially confusing for those who expect an extra window to be opened.

Opening a new console is indeed an interesting idea, but also I find myself wanting to clear the whole console to try out new things. Maybe another option could be added to do so.

This is now included as an option under File > Clear All Code. When clicking it gives you a pop-up window asking "Are you sure?". Since the editor has no history you will lose all the code typed if you answer the pop-up window with y or yes.
