Description
I would like to request a feature that allows users to clear all open terminal consoles in VSCode with a single command.
Currently, we can clear individual terminals using the command workbench.action.terminal.clear, but there is no native way to clear all open terminal consoles at once. This feature would greatly improve productivity, especially for developers who manage multiple terminals simultaneously in their workspace.
Suggested Solution
When a user runs the command to clear multiple terminals, they should be presented with a list of all open terminal instances. The user can then select one or more terminals they wish to clear.
- Display Terminal Selection
- Clear Selected Terminals
Why This Feature is Needed
- Efficiency: When working with multiple terminal windows (e.g., during development or debugging), it becomes tedious to manually clear each terminal one by one.
- Consistency: Having a way to reset the terminal windows across the workspace can help maintain a clean and organized development environment.
Use Cases
- A developer working with several terminal instances for different tasks (e.g., running a server, executing commands, and logging) can clear all the terminals at once after a deployment or cleanup operation.
- Teams using multiple terminals to monitor logs and processes can benefit from an easy reset mechanism.
