--- Comment #2 from RJVB <rjvber...@gmail.com> --- Personally I'd guess this is just a side-effect of what Konsole can see of whatever the clear command sends to the tty. I'd hope that both the Konsole and gnome-term authors sat back to consider whether the other(s) implemented a feature the way they'd like to see it before copying it! ;) I think there are at least 2 levels at which an attempt can be made to improve this. Currently Konsole emulates well-known terminals, but it could very well define its own terminal type with the accompanying termcap/terminfo file that modifies an existing entry (or builds on one, if that database supports inheritance). The other possibility might be to support E3 (might also require shipping a dedicated terminfo file!), catch whatever specific `clear` sends to the tty as a result, and the provide a profile option whether or not the scrollback buffer should be cleared. The simple presence of that E3 command indicates that a clear was requested. FWIW, clear sends this to an xterm: `ESC[HESC[2J` -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
