How to clear python terminal in vs code

Question

as I remember I used the command cls to clear the terminal, but it doesn't work any longer! I think the reason is of the update. btw when I use cls it just make the last line, first. and when I scroll up I can see the stuff. What should I do?

Do you want a command for clearing terminal? – adityanithariya Sep 26 '21 at 15:42 — adityanithariya, Sep 26 '21 at 15:42

Go to File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and find the mapping for Clear: workbench.action.terminal.clear then change it to Ctrl + K (unless you want to use some other shortcut)

Thanks it worked, but with shortcut k k. Do you know why doesn't cls work anymore? – Arshiya Khan Sep 26 '21 at 16:13
@ArshiyaKhavaninzade an update to VS Code must have removed cls functionality. so this shortcut is the next best thing for your convenience. – stapmoshun Sep 26 '21 at 17:07
