Rather than scroll past hundreds of lines of output to see the previous command history, can the output of the last command be cleared? E.g. after executing ls
, clear its output because you don't need it any more.
EDIT:
This is not your usual clear
or ctrl+L
operation. The idea is to scroll back though the history looking for the output of a previous command, but without having to have to scroll past a load of ls
, or cat
, or sudo apt-get install
output unless I really want to. It might look something like this:
cat fileIWantToRemember
ls directoryIWantToForget
# some command that wipes the output of ls
# scroll back to see the output of cat immediately
