Description madcap 2005-07-19 19:49:51 UTC 
I like to run my gnome-terminals without the menu bar. However, when I need to
reset the terminal due to wayward binary terminal output, I have to first enable
the menu bar to access the "Reset" and/or "Reset & Clear" menus. 

Personally, I find myself needing to reset the terminal more often than other
things like changing/editing the profile, or changing input methods. I would
prefer to have one or both of the reset commands provided in the context menu as
well.

Hi,

I personally don't think it is a good idea to add more clutter to the right-click
context menu (it is already full of stuff as it is..)

I think that typing "reset" in a shell the few times that the output of the
terminal goes nuts should not be a big problem, no?

i wouldn't have a problem with typing reset in the shell... unfortunately it
often doesn't work.

If that's still the case, you should open a bug report about that issue.

As typing reset seems a good enough solution, and I doubt there's a chance the menu entry will be added to the right click menu, I'm closing this request as wontfix. Thanks for your report.
