Alchemist IEx buffer: clear/0 about alchemist.el HOT 14 CLOSED

Thats because Alchemist use the comint library to implement a command
interpreter. We could realize a buffer clear function like @bbatsov showed
in this article http://emacsredux.com/blog/2015/01/18/clear-comint-buffers/

Inside the Alchemist-IEx buffer:

• the command clear is accepted by the buffer, but it does not clear
  the screen. I am thinking that maybe it is an issue with shell or eshell?
  here using clear on shell or eshell does not work, but using inside term
  and ansi-term works fine.

That's nice, thanks for the tip.

from alchemist.el.

@leohahn do you want to implement that for alchemist-iex? :) Would be nice, otherwise I'll do it.

from alchemist.el.

@tonini If you are in no hurry I can try to do that. But it would maybe take some time because I have no experience in emacs lisp. But I would be glad to help.

from alchemist.el.

@leohahn Please go ahead :)

from alchemist.el.

@tonini from what I've seen, the function alchemist-iex-clear-buffer is already implemented, which is exactly the comint-clear-buffer. ^^

It just does not have a key binding attached to it.

from alchemist.el.

Oh! :-) maybe we should add the alchemist-mode in the iex buffdf to get all the other keybindings too

from alchemist.el.

Yeah, for me the mode is really nice right now with the clear-buffer command.
Maybe it would be nice to add a default key binding, something like "C-c a c" or something like it. I didn't do it because I feel that is kind of a design decision, haha

from alchemist.el.

I guess we should come up with kind of a minor mode for the alchemist-iex buffer.

from alchemist.el.

I added a few useful keybindings to the alchemist-iex-mode e3d98ff

/cc @pragdave maybe you find these also useful.
