            Bug ID: 481249
           Summary: "reset" doesn't clear scrollback
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 23.08.4
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

On GNOME Terminal, "reset" clears the scrollback. Sadly on KDE's Konsole it
doesn't. The reason this is useful is e.g. before running a new command or a
series of commands where you plan to later save/export the entire scrollback
for sharing to e.g. report bugs or document how to do something. Also, quite
often before I run a command where I expect output, I want to be able to
afterward jump to the beginning of the output. Both are way easier when
clearing the terminal *and* the scrollback first, so this is a fairly useful
action for that. It would be nice if "reset" did that.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Use some command like "dmesg" that produces output beyond what fits into
your terminal window
2. Type "reset"
3. Try to scroll up

OBSERVED RESULT

Scrollback remains after "reset, which can be undesirable for a number of use
cases (see above) and it's inconsistent with GNOME Terminal.

EXPECTED RESULT

Scrollback is cleared after "reset".
