anyone know how to do this? in the last version you could just select all and backspace, or delete, but now its not possible, at least not for me on windows 7.

not,obviously, a serious issue, but it can be useful to get rid of the mess when debugging

nevermind, its ctl+sft+L
staring me in the face all the time

[shift]+[crtl]+[L] does that.

edit: I was too slow

is there a way to trigger console clearing within the patch?

@kokandellec I wish I knew the answer to that one. I would like to see a clean console every time Pd appears. No GEM details.

However, it is possible to send a simple message to create a line. For example:

[-------------------------------------(
|
[print]

Or, more materialistically:

[$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ (
|
[print]

I've found the answer:

[menu_clear_console(
|
[hcs/sys_gui]
