Feature Request: Powershell ISE Console Clearing using Clear-Host (cls)

[Valentin-Pommee-Macaw]

Hi everyone,

I would like to request a feature (I am sorry if there is already a solution out there which I might have overlooked):

Please implement support for Clear-Host in the sc Powershell ISE. Having a totally flooded output window completely slows down the browser to the point of literally crashing...

As you can see, some of our scripts produce a lot of console outputs:

Which causes chrome to absolutely run out of hand performance-wise:

Running the same script without any console logging or in a background job causes absolutely no such problems.

Being able to clear the console or setting a maximum amount of lines before the console auto-clears in settings would be absolutely brilliant.

Cheers :)

The cls/Clear-Host should already work and clear the output so you should be able to do this periodically in your script if you want to limit the output even now.

Renaming the issue to: Feature Request: Powershell ISE/Console Limiting the maximum size of the host output to a specific number of lines as this is what I have implemented here
starting from 8.0 you should be able to do not just Set-HostProperty -HostWidth ### but also Set-HostProperty -HostHeight ###

I think my new favorite first line will be

Set-HostProperty -HostWidth 2000 -HostHeight 2000
