Clear terminal screen Erlang or Elixir with Ctrl+L

.bashrc

# Sets terminal window title until it is overwritten by $PROMPT_COMMAND (when erl is done).
function erl {
    echo -ne "\033]0;erl\007"
    /usr/bin/erl "$@"
}

README.md

For those who like their Terminal screens clean.

Requirements:

• xdotool
• sxhkd

This is just a quick and dirty solution to something that bothered me.

clearerl

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ "$(xdotool search --name --onlyvisible erl)" = "$(xdotool getactivewindow)" ]; then
    xdotool type --clearmodifiers 'io:format("\e[H\e[J").'
    xdotool key Return
fi

sxhkdrc
