Is there a way to clear the terminal screen while running?


Member of Parliament for Aditya

For example, I am running tail -f someLogFile. My screen is full and only the last row is changing. I'm going to clear the screen now; but the usual Ctrl+ does Ln't work and just shows me the output ^L.

null pointer

Using Ctrl+ is not accepted Las keyboard input, but you can do the following:

Toolbar options of Terminal -> Terminal -> Reset and clear

This will do the trick!

Hope this helps!
