Is there a command to clear the immediate window in Visual Studio?
I hate having to grab the mouse for a right click menu there - would rather just type "cls" or something.
To clear the immediate window, you can use >cls
, which is a predefined command alias to >Edit.ClearAll
.
The MSDN article lists all predefined aliases and you can define your own, too. (For VS 2010 and earlier, custom aliases are described in a separate article, though.) Scanning through, there's a whole slew of them, some of which might even have their roots in MS-DOS DEBUG.EXE (specifically >d
, >g
, >p
, >q
, and >t
come to mind).
Also worth noting, as it's only two keys to press: Context menu > Clear All invokes the same command and it can be navigated using keyboard. In the immediate window, you can press context-menu
, L
.
If you don't have a context-menu
key on your keyboard (you know, the one between right-alt
and right-ctrl
), you can use shift
+ F10
instead.
