Is there a command to clear the immediate window in Visual Studio?
I hate having to grab the mouse for a right click menu there – would rather just type ‘cls’ or something.

To clear the immediate window, you can use
>cls, which is a predefined command alias to>Edit.ClearAll.The MSDN article lists all predefined aliases and you can define your own, too. (For VS 2010 and earlier, custom aliases are described in a separate article, though.) Scanning through, there’s a whole slew of them, some of which might even have their roots in MS-DOS DEBUG.EXE (specifically
>d,>g,>p,>q, and >tcome to mind).Also worth noting as it’s only two keys to press: Context menu > Clear All invokes the same command and it can be navigated using keyboard. Therefore in the immediate window, you can press Context Menu, L.
If you don’t have a
context-menukey on your keyboard (you know, the one between Right Alt and Right Ctrl), you can use Shift+F10 instead.
