Please add a bindable action to clear the scrollback buffer (i.e. clear all previous text and reset to a new terminal window). On the mac terminal, this is bound to cmd-k.

/dup #1882 😄

Thanks for the request!

You can install the preview from https://aka.ms/terminal-preview if you'd like. It runs side by side with the stable terminal and won't impact your settings. You can use them simultaneously as long as you wish.

We try to keep preview pretty stable in terms of reliability!
