MobaXterm - reset terminal screen

Question

I need to Reset my MobaXterm screen after some time working, however 'clear' and 'reset' commands wont work as if I was on a linux server.

Anyone have some tip?

Answer 1

Right click MobaXterm screen > Click Clear Scrollback

Note: Your MobaXterm may be set to paste on Right-Click; in this case use Ctrl+Right-Click.

Answer 2

1. Right click on the terminal window in MobaXterm.
2. In the popup menu, click Change terminal settings...
3. In the tree, click Terminal > Features
4. Uncheck Disable remote-controlled clearing of scrollback
5. In the tree, click Window
6. Uncheck Reset scrollback on display activity
7. Click the Apply button

You can now type clear and have the window clear and remove the scrollback.

Answer 3

When 'Paste using right-click' is checked, you still can use Ctrl/Shift + Right Click to pop up the contextual menu.

Answer 4

To reset your MobaXterm screen, use:

1. Right click on selected MobaXterm screen > Clear Scrollback (as describe above)

2. Or, if the prompt is available, launch the command 'cls'

3. Or, in all cases (prompt available or not), press CTRL+L keyboard keys

Answer 5

Mobaterm seems to like playing around with the putty configuration - so I found that right clicking on the window -> change terminal settings

-> features -> enable everything.

-> window -> disable push erased text into scrollback

the usual clear control commands

function clear() { printf '\033[2J' # clear printf '\033[H' # home }

will now clear the screen and clear the scrollback
