Clear terminal (cmd + k) doesn't work anymore

[andreihrs]

Type: Bug

cmd + k doesn't work anymore in the terminal. I was using this daily and today this stopped working.

I have no keybinding that overrides this. I have the terminal open and the clear terminal command doesn't work.

it does work if I do cmd + shift + p and I choose clear terminal

Use the Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting to figure out the issue. I cannot repro a problem

[ryb73]

Hi @meganrogge. I'm also encountering this issue. I'm having trouble making sense of the troubleshooting output, do you see anything here that might point to what this problem is?
