Fixes #181 (?)
I am unsure whether the Clear action should also clear the scrollback buffer. At the moment it does not because the "Reset" action does that. The native hotkey
<Control>L
does not clear the buffer but typingclear
into the terminal does.Is it worth implementing two actions - "Clear Screen Only" and "Clear Screen and Scrollback"?
The XFCE terminal labels the reset action "Clear Scrollback and Reset" - should we follow or is that too verbose?
Should the "Clear Screen" menu option be labelled "Clear Screen Only"?
