Answer 2

Hi,

The shortest and the quickest way to clear the global environment in R is by using shortcut keys from the keyboards. Simply hit Ctrl+L on the keyboard and you will see that everything written in the console will be erased and the console will be cleared.

Ctrl+L actual not clear the screen just shift several line if you scroll up previous typing still there, as using clear command in bash terminal. Actually command equal to reset CLI in bash shell.
