There is no reason to use clear if your terminal supports printf '33c' to reset

There is no reason to use a terminal in 2017.

kys

You, you fucking nigger

ctrl l you moron

Fucking autists. Here's how sou whould do it:
1. install a terminal emulator for non-autistic people
2. open the burger menu
3. select "clear screen"
3b. if the app is missing this option, select "new terminal"

D-D-D-DERAILED

who are you quoting

aliasing printf '\033c' is easier and clears the scrollback history

CTRL-L is for retards

>RAILED
like the BBC did to your mom

(You0

who are you quoting

is more easy to just type reset

>2017
>not doing every distinct action on your PC from the context menu of your Desktop

I meant aliasing z to printf '\033c'
.bashrc
alias z="printf '\033c'"

Can you not?

Obviously it isn't

>being this much of a tech babby

What about reset ?

$ time reset

real 0m1.003s
user 0m0.002s
sys 0m0.001s


this is why retard

oh yeah just think of all the work you could do with those ms you saved

There is no reason to enter simple commands into your terminal if you have dmenu installed

who are you quoting

>ms
It's a full second

autism

>using a mouse
Ok, but ctrl + l is even faster then, and is what I use. Typing unnecessary is pleb tier, like people who type "exit" instead of just ctrl + D to exit shell.

Why would you choose something that takes longer and is less efficient?

Go away

Grandpa

Hotkeys can be useful but CTRL-L doesn't clear scrollback history you fucking nigger monkey

>Why would you choose something that takes longer and is less efficient?

But neither of those things are true.

Well, it isn't efficient for commands that take more than one entry, but take this for example:

>browsing and want to turn off touchpad
>switch from browser to terminal
>enter command to turn it off
>switch back to browser

vs

>ctrl+p
>enter command
>automatically right back in your browser

>using a touchpad
Fuck off

It's easier to just reboot the computer.

autism

also nigger, you can just hotkey the entire command

Who THE FUCK are you quoting

Try again

Which I've actually done, that was just an example. Anything that takes only one entry and no confirmation can just be entered through dmenu

I wasn't talking about 1 entry though you aspie fuck

>winfags actually believe this

Well I was, so tough shit.

Then you went off topic and your existence to me is irrelevant

Just like your theoretical ability to procreate.

who are you quoting

I told you to go away - my thread my rules

please tell me this doesn't just clear the screen

Yeah but it does it a lot faster than clear so why is clear the standard?

I don't get why everyone's upset at this thread. If RMS posted it you'd all be jumping on his dicks and aliasing clear to printf '\033c' like you should

nice try op, no one is falling for your autism

Now time yourself typing "ctrl-l" vs "printf '\033c'"

Now time yourself making this edit in your bashrc. Call this t_brc. Then solve
t_brc = x (18•10^-4 - 0.12•10^-4)
for x

If it takes you 100 seconds then you need to use your improvement 18,000,000 times before you have saved any time.

there's no reason to use anything other than a keyboard shortcut to clear the screen.

>what are aliases
>what is scrollback history

Not only does printf save time, it doesn't leave ANY scrollback history

SCROLLBACK HISTORY

autism

Getting proven wrong and then retorting with ad hominem just proves my point that you're a retard nigger monkey

My comment considers aliases. Did you even read it? How many seconds would it take you to create your alias in your bashrc?

If scrollback history is your main concern, then I buy your argument. Personally I like to keep it around in case I need to see output from stuff.

why do you even need to clear the screen?

echo "alias z=\"printf '\033c'\"" >> .bashrc && . .bashrc

~ 5 seconds. In my lifetime I will surely clear the terminal at least 10,000 times, which saves 13 seconds. But I would only need to clear it ~ 3000 times to be saving time. Not only that, but SCROLLBACK HISTORY

also nigger, if you care about scrollback history you shouldn't be clearing the screen at all

I like to keep things tidy

But I want to maintain my scrollback

Also I don't ever clear 10000 times in rapid succession

autism

see One more thing nigger, typing "z" instead of "clear" is much faster obviously. So I'd have to alias clear to z which ends up doing the same thing doesn't it? So the amount of time it takes is irrelevant.

>typing "z" instead of "clear" is much faster obviously.
Nobody types "clear", they just use ^L

Okay, so running the clear command takes 0.0018 seconds, while using the escape sequence takes a fraction of that. We might simplify things by saying that using the escape sequence saves a whole 0.0018 seconds over clear.

But how much time do you suppose you save by typing out clear instead of typing out printf '\033c'? I would imagine perhaps a whole second or more. So it is better to just type clear, no?

Why on earth would you clear the terminal if you want to keep the scrollback history? Isn't it quicker to just leave it? Oh yeah, you're a time wasting retard. I'm gonna stop replying to you now.

This is so entertaining to watch happen, you guys are basically trying to out-loser each other since you know you're never ever going to make a single cent. Essentially like the battle of the welfare queens trying to out-autistic and out-hipster each other. One day the welfare is going to stop coming.

Fucking wagecuck. While I'm here figuring out clever things you have wet dreams over, you're at work and you're wife is at home taking BBC on the sly

can't wait for mods to get online and ban OP

Yes because spending 60 posts trying to out-ausiticize everyone else by coming up with the shittiest-on-purpose way to clear a terminal that you don't use anyway sure is going to go places.

They'll need to ban first

I use it so go away

Have to type more characters SAN use the shift key a few times.
