Oh. I know. But you don't understand - I'm compelled to type it out. I must.
I used to, but the terminal clear is better, so I don't.
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).
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.
