I am wondering if there is a function to clear the console in R and, in particular, RStudio I am looking for a function that I can type into the console, and not a keyboard shortcut.
Someone has already provided such a function in this StackExchange post from 2010. Unfortunately, this depends on the RCom package and will not run on Mac OS X.
Ctrl+L — Clear the Console.
How to clear the R console on a Mac. For those using an Apple Mac device, you should continue reading because things are a bit different compared to Windows. Via key combinations: From within R, please press Options + Command + L, and that should be it for clearing the console.
Use the short cut Ctrl + L to clear the console.
rm() function in R Language is used to delete objects from the memory. It can be used with ls() function to delete all objects. remove() function is also similar to rm() function.
cat("\014")
is the code to send CTRL+L to the console, and therefore will clear the screen.
Far better than just sending a whole lot of returns.
