Let me be clear, I’m not against support your requirements. I’m saying ‘reset’ is the wrong tool to do that.
It’s like complaining that a text editor has no support exporting files as a PNG just because a subset of people happen to use that text editor for ASCII art.
If you want better support for clearing scrollback then that problem lies with ‘clear’, not ‘reset’.
Just as terminal capabilities lie with ANSI escape codes, not the TERM string.
The issue here is the pair of you are asking for the wrong thing then ignoring literally everyone else on HN and proceeding to make up insanely stupid claims about affected users (“billions of desktop users” lol) and call everyone else out for being unsupportive. Perhaps if you bothered to listen to people you might actually learn something.
Anyway, I’m done with this conversation now
