Clear the Screen and Scrollback Buffer without Resetting Terminal

With Xshell Build 0697 and Xmanager Enterprise Build 0687 we’ve added a couple options to aid in reducing clutter in your terminal window.

If you have thousands of lines of scrollback buffer with a cluttered screen, you can easily clear the screen with the clear command, but the scrollback buffer still exists using up memory. With a program or other non-text file open, simply resetting your terminal may not be an option.

We’ve now added the option to clear the screen and delete the scrollback buffer without having to reset the terminal.

Using these new features, you can avoid resetting your terminal and continue working while clearing the screen and scrollback buffer when desired.
