I am aware of this question having already been asked, however neither cat("\014") nor Option + Command + L works for me. cls <- function() cat(rep("\n",50)) works, however the cursor remains at the bottom of the screen.

I am using OS X Mavericks for my local machine and I am running R remotely (via ssh). I am using Terminal.app on my local machine to do so.

Note : Control + Command + L works if I, if on the server side, I launch an X11 window (via xterm) and run R from there. However, I don't particularly like working in an X11 window.

Note : in my .inputrc I have set editing-mode vi. I'm not sure if that will effect clearing the screen. It does not seem to be an issue in the X11 window.

QUESTION : How would I clear the screen while remotely running the command line version of R from Terminal.app and have the cursor be at the top?

From this answer :

clear <- function() cat(c("\033[2J","\033[0;0H"))
