Clear logs

[Tam]

It'd be really useful to be able to clear the logs view and only show new items as they come in.

This is possible when viewing the logs independently (i.e. via the m keybind) and using the clear command to clear the terminal, but I often find myself jumping between containers to check the logs, so being able to do this within the lazydocker context would be handy!

I agree this would be a great feature. It might also be quite easy i.e. just press a key and then clear the main view. I'm gonna put a good-first-issue label on this. If you wanna take a stab at this @Tam lemme know and I can point you to the right places in the code to make the changes

It's been a minute since I last used Go @jesseduffield, but sure if you can point me in the right direction I'll try to find time soon to give it a shot!

Awesome :)

So you'll want to add a keybinding handler in pkg/gui/main_panel.go called handleClearMain

func (gui *Gui) handleClearMain() error {
	if gui.popupPanelFocused() {
		return nil
	}

    gui.Views.Main.Clear()
	return nil
}

and then you'll want to reference it from pkg/gui/keybindings.go like so:

		{
			ViewName: "main",
			Key:      gocui.KeyCtrlL,
			Modifier: gocui.ModNone,
			Handler:  wrappedHandler(gui.handleClearMain),
			Description: gui.Tr.ClearMain,
		},

You'll also need to add the keybinding's help text to pkg/i18n/english.go (that's what the gui.Tr.ClearMain thing refers to).

I'd see how that goes. We'll likely need to tweak it but that's a good starting spot

@jesseduffield, is anyone actively working on this issue right now?

[jesseduffield]

Did you get a chance to start on this @Tam ? If you want to give it a go @26tanishabanik I'm happy to assign you

I can give it a try @jesseduffield , though I have a question, how do I setup the local dev environment, is there specific doc for that?

@jesseduffield it’s probably gonna be a while before I have time, happy to let @26tanishabanik take the reins 👍

ClearMain

@jesseduffield , what does KeyCtrlL mean?

[mark2185]

I'd guess it's ctrl+L.

[26tanishabanik]

I'd guess it's ctrl+L.

Thanks @mark2185

@jesseduffield , ctrl+L is working, I am able to clear the logs, after moving my cursor to the logs tab
