CMD/CTRL-K for me.

Someone who doesn't know the benefits of dedicated, unlimited scrollback buffers. This command is useful but has a bad effect (when unintentionally).

[–] ripcord 2 points 2 months ago

No, I do. Clearing the scrollback because I want a new, very clear start point for a new activity and don't care about the rest is frequently the goal.

If I do care about the history I'll do something else or possibly been saving history to disk, although that's far more rare.
