Try the
reset
command, ie. just typereset
into your terminal to reset.The command
clear
could also work, but it's primary function is to clear the display, wherereset
is really what you want.It's really useful if you're coding and using escape characters to change something in the terminal by make a typo & screw something up, or you
cat
a binary file and find yourself in the same position.clear
was introduced in 1979 because it was common for terminals to be of different brand and use different escape sequences (VT52, VT100 etc).reset
is another variationI know its funny but associate on some instruction on other solution I try to open some file with
nano
and terminal CHARSET have been changed to default view. I don't know why and not any idea on this problem.
