Code: Select all

from PySide import QtGui
mw=Gui.getMainWindow()

c=mw.findChild(QtGui.QPlainTextEdit, "Python console")
c.clear()

r=mw.findChild(QtGui.QTextEdit, "Report view")
r.clear()

I'm a beginner with FreeCAD and Python.
Since there doesn't seem to be an existing simple command to clear the Python console screen, like "cls" or "clear"
Is there a way to program a CTRL-mykey such that it will execute these code lines ?

Code: Select all

c=mw.findChild(QtGui.QPlainTextEdit, "Python console")
c.clear()

Can such CTRL-mykey be saved permanently such that it remain available in the Python console at FreeCAD startup ?

The Python console has a (right-click) context menu with a "Clear" option.
