Description Tobias Koenig 2008-09-24 16:56:49 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.10)
Installed from:    Unspecified

Hej,

konsole doesn't clear its history as xterm do when it receives the RIS sequence (\ec) (e.g. via 'reset' console tool). Maybe something to increase compatibility?

Ciao,
Tobias

Hi,

Not sure about this.  I think it is useful to be able to reset the terminal without losing history - although you can do that via the Edit menu as well.  In KDE 4 we do support another control sequence from Xterm to clear the history (see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158235)

While it's nice to have a feature to clear the scrollback and keep history, I can confirm that this is still true, the 'reset' command just add newlines, without reseting the scrollview. this works correctly in vte and xterm.

This bothers me a lot too. Mostly due to the inconsistency when compared to other terminal emulators.
