Sending `\u001Bc` escape sequence clears scrollback buffer
See original GitHub issueDetails
- Browser and browser version: Google Chrome | 90.0.4430.93 (Official Build) (x86_64)
- OS version: macOS Big Sur
- xterm.js version: 4.9.0
Steps to reproduce
- Use a regular macOS Terminal (or iTerm if you prefer) and execute
lsa couple of times and then executeprintf '\u001Bc'. You will notice that the scrollback buffer is not cleared. - Open Visual Studio Code and do the same thing, you will now notice that the scrollback buffer is cleared.
I noticed the difference in behaviour because I was using ansi-escapes#clearscreen which shouldn’t clear the buffer but it does in xterm.js.
