Final answer:
To clear the terminal in VS Code, use Ctrl + \, then type clear and press Enter on Windows or Linux, and Cmd + K on Mac. The clear command can also be typed directly into the terminal.
Step-by-step explanation:
To clear the terminal in Visual Studio Code, you can use a simple keyboard shortcut. If you are using Windows, you can clear the terminal by pressing Ctrl + \, then type clear and press Enter. For Mac users, the shortcut is Cmd + K. For Linux users, the shortcut is also usually Ctrl + \, then type clear and press Enter. It's also possible to clear the screen by typing the clear command into the terminal directly and pressing Enter. Remember that this action won't remove the terminal's scrollback buffer, it will just push the previous output out of view.
