5,732 Pointsthe console won't let me clear the screen like we have learned for some reason?
The console is still in java-repl so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Though, :cls works just fine though

You can clear the screen while in the java-repl with CTRL-L. However, if you need to get out of the java-repl and compile you can use CTRL-C to terminate it first. Then use the commands you have come to know to clear, compile, and run.
Please let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Chris

I have now started a notepad text document to keep track of the shortcuts and commands for the java-repl.
Thanks again,

My apologies for only providing windows CTRL options. On mac you will want to use Control-L to clear when in the java-repl and Control-c to terminate.
