清除Rails服务器中的终端

Question

In terminal, you can clear the terminal by typing $ clear (gives a large block of clear lines) or control+l (although this only moves the last line to to top). How do you accomplish this once you have started the server using $ rails s , or am I stuck with just holding return/enter for a while?

Answer 1

In gnome terminal: Terminal -> Reset and Clear .

I mapped it to CTRL + k .

⌘ + K for OSX

Answer 2

In Ubuntu,

system 'clear'

In Windows

system 'cls'

Note: If you are using terminal inside some IDE like MyEclipse then you can remove terminal data by pressing "Clear Console" that is at right side of console even while server is running. Like that different IDE's have different ways of clearing console data. For standalone console like the ubuntu terminal or Windows terminal while server on run, you can't remove data.
