the simple clear command don't work, and vim goning crazy!

vim don't recognize direction command and also don't show menu and other plugin installed.

This is two separate problems. Better be if you create separate ticket for vim, @b4dtR1p
clear command investigation result:

• iTerm2/Terminal:

❯ clear
#Clearing the screen
❯ echo $TERM
xterm-256color

• Black Screen:

$ clear
TERM environment variable not set.
$ echo $TERM
$TERM

Same problem as in #36 btw

@b4dtR1p, complete Vim support is a long way, we're working on it.

It's more interesting with clear. It sends an ANSI sequence, which means "move cursor to the upper left corner; erase everything after the cursor". However, in the current design one job (that is when you type clean and then press enter) has no access to the output of another job, unlike in xterm. That means that if you types ls, the next command can't access its output.

Currently you can clear the screen with Ctrl+L, but I'll check how we can make clear work as well. I can see two ways:

• Have a built-in clear function.
• Redefine the sequence in terminfo.

First of all congratulations for the idea , we lacked a terminal node and thank you for your speedy response!

[b4dtR1p]

for environment variable path @G07cha read the TODO #58

this issue should be closed since half is covered by #36 and half is very long-term

Clear was just added, and vim has been sane for a while.
