Somehow I can't use ⌘ + K to clear terminal even though the shortcut has set up as default. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

terminal clear shortcut

The problem is solved

The command was overwritten by an extension. To overwrite it to reset, added the following lines in keybindings.json.

{ "key": "cmd+k", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.clear", "when": "terminalFocus" }

keybindings.json console

  • Can you double check keybindings.json directly? Can you try `ctrl+l`, which is default shortcut for bash? – qxg Jul 17 '18 at 09:15

    Did you try disabling all extensions to see if any of them were causing the issue? – jabacchetta Jul 17 '18 at 14:56
  • @qxg Thank you so much for the answering - Checked `keybindings.json` and there is the command - `ctrl+l` worked However it doesn't work if any tasks are running. @jabacchetta Thank you so much for the answering - Bingo It was conflicted by [Sublime Text Keymap and Settings Importer](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings). I'll try to overwrite the keybindings. – mayognaise Jul 18 '18 at 08:18

  • Did not work, but this worked ". I just went to File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and found the mapping for Clear: workbench.action.terminal.clear did not have a mapping anymore. I added Ctrl + K back, there were no conflicts, and it works fine again.
