I here what you're saying however the only thing I know of is to use the
clear
command. It keep's the history intact while returning the prompt to the top of the Terminal window.I added an alias for
clear
to my~/.profile
file. Or~/.bash_profile
file if using it instead.Now I just press CEnter. Then scroll back into the history as needed.
