Clearing Cell Output with Keyboard Shortcut

I’m not quite sure which of two things you are interested in urging the developers to do and so I’ll break this into two sections.


Do you mean once you add it, that it show up with indicators as how to do use in the appropriate menu? For example, the the clearing of output, the menu you get when you right click in the notebook page.

There may well be a way, but I haven’t worked out if there is and how yet. For one example of one command that shows up in a menu, I had seen a ‘category’ setting used, but I couldn’t tell if it helps it propagate to the menus or not.

There are several posts and filed issues in relation to keyboard shortcuts but I haven’t found one along this line yet. May not mean there isn’t. I would think this deserves a post of its own somewhere though if you are eager. There was some discussion of a here that leads eventually to this issue.

Yet, at this timeI cannot point you to where you should put in your two cents among the issues on the GitHub page. Maybe a post on this forum highlighting this specific question or a new issue there may lead to some insight?


Or maybe by that comment you were referring to what is discussed here in the comment, “I’m still interested to know if there are plans to let people do this without messing with JSON”?

The situation is much the same although from the general discussion it seems that has more hurdles that would need clearing, and I am also at a loss for where you should put in your two cents on this effort as well. So much of what I wrote above for ideas on how to proceed hold if this better gets at your concern.
