      haha, I can relate to that :). formerly I had the compulsion to execute sync frequently. Now my compulsion is to push Ctrl-C like 4 times every time I need it. I read somewhere that’s common because of ^C has a lack of feedback to the user, so, a script showing an alert that the clipboard received some information helped with this compulsion.

          Someone who doesn’t know the benefits of dedicated, unlimited scrollback buffers. This command is useful but has a bad effect (when unintentionally).

            No, I do. Clearing the scrollback because I want a new, very clear start point for a new activity and don’t care about the rest is frequently the goal.

            If I do care about the history I’ll do something else or possibly been saving history to disk, although that’s far more rare.
