Bug ID: 481249
Summary: "reset" doesn't clear scrollback
Classification: Applications
Product: konsole
Version: 23.08.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: emulation
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
Reporter: e...@horse64.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On GNOME Terminal, "reset" clears the scrollback. Sadly on KDE's Konsole it
doesn't. The reason this is useful is e.g. before running a new command or a
series of commands where you plan to later save/export the entire scrollback
for sharing to e.g. report bugs or document how to do something. Also, quite
often before I run a command where I expect output, I want to be able to
afterward jump to the beginning of the output. Both are way easier when
clearing the terminal *and* the scrollback first, so this is a fairly useful
action for that. It would be nice if "reset" did that.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use some command like "dmesg" that produces output beyond what fits into
your terminal window
2. Type "reset"
3. Try to scroll up
OBSERVED RESULT
Scrollback remains after "reset, which can be undesirable for a number of use
cases (see above) and it's inconsistent with GNOME Terminal.
EXPECTED RESULT
Scrollback is cleared after "reset".
