  "command": "cls",

}

or whatever, more generic command syntax suits you

Sorry, is this a request for a clear screen binding? That wasn’t clear from the title.

If you’re using bash, zsh or PowerShell you can use Ctrl+L to clear the screen. Right now, it is the shell’s job to clear the screen.

If you want the terminal to have a reset screen key binding, this is a duplicate of another request. I won’t close this bug until I am certain.

i would find it useful, regardless on who is handling this in bash, for
windows terminal, especially under cmd personality, to be able to set
ctrl-l to render into a certain string, injected into the input buffer, like
"keybindings": [
{
"command": "closePane",
"keys": [ "ctrl+d" ]
},
{
"command": "cls",
"keys": [ "ctrl+l" ]
}
]

closePan is a member of shortcutactionname enum, but there is not
easy/obvious way to associate (short)keys with commands injected in the
input buffer, just like they were typed by the end looser (as you call them)

"ShortcutActionName": {
"enum": [
"adjustFontSize",
"closePane",
"closeTab",
"closeWindow",
"copy",
"decreaseFontSize",
"duplicateTab",
"moveFocus",
"newTab",
"nextTab",
"openNewTabDropdown",
"openSettings",
"paste",
"prevTab",
"resetFontSize",
"resizePane",
"scrollDown",
"scrollDownPage",
"scrollUp",
"scrollUpPage",
"splitPane",
"switchToTab",
"toggleFullscreen",
"find",
"unbound",

    *"input"*

],
"type": "string"
}

would allow

"keybindings": [
{
"command": "input:cls",
"keys": [ "ctrl+l" ]
}
]

where input would be the new enum member (ugly like hell as it is
statically defined) and cls as being the param...

no biggie

i would like to have an easy way (in settings) to associate a certain key
with a particular / custom design string to be injected in the input
buffer. so i can create (for example) a new keybinding
{
"command": "inject:cls\n",
"keys": [ "ctrl+l" ]
}

or something like that

let's not split hair on syntax semantics... did not look over the source
code

i would like to be able to define a keybinding with the result of replacing
my key (e.g. ctrl-l) with a certain string (e.g. "cls\n" or "cls" or
whatever, syntax is irrelevant)

this why, whatever i may need to be automated (as in i enter ctrl-C and i
get the speed of light in my terminal line buffer)

@dmarinescu commented on GitHub (May 3, 2020):

that makes two of us, actually.

what about having a new command, allowing, at any time during editing or
current line, if a certain (short) key is detected and if it is not
contradictory with higher order semantics, the key will be replaced by a
certain, configurable string, to be injected in current cursor position, in
the line editor buffer, like a c define? like a macro...

very hard to understand, indeed

what about this (now generalized, different feature, potentially)

you are at the end of a very long / ugly line, you press ctrl-f and you get
the long line nicely formatted with ^ line continuation characters for each
little line resulted from beautifying. just an example (not functionally
congruent as this is doing more than a string insertion, but could be
generalized to do both, etc)

This sounds similar to #5273.

Thanks for explaining! I think this is captured in #3799 already -- it's a feature request for a key binding that can send any input into the terminal.

It would probably look something like...

{
    "command": {
        "action": "sendInput",
        "input": "cls\n"
    }
    "keys": "ctrl+shift+l"
}

/dup #3799.
