I have a habit of always clearing my output, just to keep it clean for when I’m running my next script where the output is relevant, how about a tiny update to include a clear output button? Something like this

Even the standard CLI solution (spamming \n till the entire space is filled with nothing) does not work for Roblox output now as it will just give a single newline with a number behind it for every subsequent one 
The new hack for that is
for i=1, 15 do
print(string.rep(" ", i%2))
end
As it oscillates the print between one space and two, but yeah I dont want hacky stuff
Is this not good enough…?

It’s the little details 
Would be easier with a button for me.
should all text on every website also have a copy button?

Is that constructive criticism on my suggestion?
The website is not the studio.
im just saying that having a button to clear the output when you can right click and clear output is completely unnecessary, sorry if i came off a little rude

It’s easier to hit a button than it is to right click and then move the mouse down to that section. Maybe you don’t clear the output as often as I. I never ever use the Copy/Cut/Duplicate buttons, but they should still be there.
right click and press “clear output”
Yes, I am aware. I’m saying it would speed up my development to have a button, like there’s a button for everything else.

As someone who very rapidly prototypes I could see this saving me a few minutes a day which could easily add up over time.
Support for such a basic and imo needed feature.
I support this. recently, running a ton of prints in batches of up to a couple hundred gets really hard to read.
I mostly just restart a test incase I missed stuff because there’s too much in the output, even clearing it, I don’t know when it stops exactly. Sometimes I have random waits
I feel like you moved the goalposts a bit. You responded to a previous post with the hacky solution of printing alternating spaces to clear the output window, and you did not acknowledge the existence of he right-click menu in the OP. Now that you were informed that there was a right click menu in the editor, you still insist on a button being there.
Tbh, for the sake of not cluttering up the UI /and/ micro-optimising development time, a shortcut would be more preferrable over a button. How does ctrl+L sound

They can make it an action that appears in the shortcut list in settings, then it can be set to whatever shortcut the developer wants.

I didn’t move any goalposts, by the way I wrote my post it should be obvious that I was aware that it was possible to clear the output currently. I’d have to be rather newby to not know how to clear the output, don’t you think?
Making it an action for the shortut setting menu seems rather ideal to me. While a dedicated button would be a step forward, not having to use a mouse at all is what appeals most to me.
Very well. My bad.
