In RStudio, the escape key clears any text at the console prompt. In Positron the escape key doesn't do this (or anything else) if the cursor is at the console prompt. Is there any way to change Positron to the RStudio behavior? (Interestingly I just opened a naked R session and there hitting escape seems to give you a new prompt line without executing the code, which is confusing.) |

I agree, ESC would be great. However, for now it appears CTRL-C gives you a new prompt line without executing the code. |

We intentionally removed this behaviour because escape is also used to close popups. It's easy to hit escape one time too many and get your input accidentally cleared out. In addition to Ctrl-C you can also use Ctrl-U. Both of these also work in terminals, which is a nice consistency. Or Ctrl-A / Cmd-A to select all the input and get the selection replaced by the next character you type. |

Makes sense, thanks - one more brain remapping task |
