In R, how to remove all of the typed commands from the command window, so that I can have a clearer working environment.
On windows using RGui, a mac inside the terminal, or on Linux: Ctrl+L will clear the screen for you. You won’t be able to scroll up to view what you’ve done in the session previously though. You can still use the up arrow to scroll through your history though.
On a mac using the gui: Option+Command+L will do the same thing as clearing in the windows gui.
On any system: You could create a function to do something similar to clearing the screen for you:
clr <- function(){cat(rep("\n", 50))}All this does is prints enough linebreaks to essentially push everything above what is viewable on the console. You can still scroll up to view the previous output but you’ll have 50 lines of whitespace. Depending on your monitor size you might need to increase the number of line breaks to clear everything.
