clear screen

[Wattana Ratanaaparoj]

Hi, I;ve read in previous requests but it seems like not exactly same as mine. Normally, I will clear screen on other Python REPL by print command of these 2 series. of \x1B\x5B2J" and "\x1B\x5BH"  which similate #VT100 (x1B=ESC) a=clear screen, b=upper left corner cursor. In Thonny I found only way to hard key of ctrl+l . What should I send any byte series to Thonny representative of hard key of ctrl+l instead?

your kind suggest much appreciated,

Hi!

Thonny's shell is not a proper terminal emulator, so it has very limited support for ANSI codes (https://github.com/thonny/thonny/blob/master/thonny/plugins/help/shell.rst#colored-output). What you are looking for is in the TODO list though: https://github.com/thonny/thonny/issues/1697

Best regards,
Aivar

Hi! Well I have another suggestion. I'm also interested in the same thing: clear the shell when starting a program. Now I do it using the two ways mentioned: ctrl+L and right mouse button. If it's possible, you can make available the commands that are used when we press that set of keys (ctrl+L) and interested users can write a small function to do it whenever they need to. I imagine that would make everyone happy, myself included.

Yes,

I guess that we all are thinking the same way, we just need to know what binary stream that Thonny send out once user either press ctrl+L or click on mouse...

best regards,
