Cmd+K Clear Screen

What

Adds a Cmd+K keyboard shortcut (macOS) mapped to a new chat:clearScreen action, providing a way to visually clear the terminal display without losing conversation context.

Usage: Press Cmd+K in the chat input to clear the screen. This is separate from Ctrl+L (clear input), which only empties the input field.

Details
  • Bound as "cmd+k": "chat:clearScreen" in the default keybindings
  • On iTerm and Apple Terminal, the feature also probes for external clears (e.g. via Cmd+K in the terminal itself) and automatically redraws the UI when an outside wipe is detected
  • The clear screen action triggers /clear internally
  • A brief "clear" hint is shown before the action takes effect
Evidence

New keybinding action (search for "chat:clearScreen") and external wipe detection (search for "probeExternalClear")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
