I have something only partially related to add: I'd like to select text
in the console and delete it. In other words, after spending time
making a program just right, my console window is full of my failed
attempts. I'd like to remove the unwanted material (actually I'd like
better to just "clear" the console, maybe leaving the R version number
that is put there when opening R) and rerun my complete, debugged
program to have a clean output for archiving. As of now the novice that
I am had to quit R and reopen it to run my debugged program.
In short I'm not reporting a bug but asking for a feature, just a menu
command to "clear the console".
Sincerely,
Denis Chabot
