How can I programmatically clear the terminal window, equivalent to pressing Ctrl+l?

Thanks! I’ll add a semicolon ; to avoid the printed output. (there’s still an extraneous empty line left on my terminal, but that’s fine).

For completeness, it also works on macOS: [clear]

This is not doing what I expected it to do though julia> for i in 1:10 write(stdin.buffer, 0x0C) println("test", i) end

What are you expecting that to do?

I’d expected that to go (very quickly, prob. not visible) from test1 to test10 and test10 still be visible at the end. Instead I end with a cleared terminal.

You should probably use something like julia> for i in 1:10 print("\e[0;0H\e[2J") println("test", i) sleep(0.1) end for that.

write(stdin.buffer, 0x0C) works on both linux and Windows.

Can I draw a unicodeplot repeatedly without annoying shift on terminal?
