Description
Feature Request
Current Behavior
SimplySerial currently only supports Ctrl+X for exiting. When monitoring verbose logs (e.g., ESP32 debugging), the terminal can become cluttered with no way to clear it without restarting the application.
Proposed Feature
Add a keyboard shortcut (suggested: Ctrl+L) to clear the terminal screen/buffer while maintaining the serial connection.
Use Case
When monitoring device logs during development, being able to clear the screen helps to:
- Focus on new log entries after making changes
- Reduce visual clutter during debugging sessions
- Mark a "fresh start" point without losing the connection
Suggested Implementation
- Ctrl+L: Clear screen (common terminal convention)
- Alternative: Ctrl+K (clear buffer)
- Could send ANSI escape sequence: \033[2J\033[H
Additional Context
This would maintain SimplySerial's philosophy of simplicity while adding a frequently-needed feature for serial monitoring workflows.
