Research direction

Start at the pane.reset() entry point and compare the tmux command it generates with the separate p.cmd("send-keys", "-R") and p.cmd("clear-history") calls shown in the report. Reproduce the behavior with tmux 3.2, then verify that pane.reset() clears both history and scrollback as the equivalent shell commands do.

Description

Hi,

First of, great tool!

I can see that pane.reset() does not work (at least for me), I am running tmux 3.2 on osx bs and zsh.

When running pane.reset(), nothing happens, meaning the history and scrollback are not cleared:

In [49]: p.reset()
self.stdout for /usr/local/bin/tmux send-keys -t %23 -R \; clear-history:

This does work for me:

Using libtmux:

In [62]: p.cmd("send-keys", "-R")
    ...: p.cmd("clear-history")
self.stdout for /usr/local/bin/tmux send-keys -t %23 -R:
[]
self.stdout for /usr/local/bin/tmux clear-history -t %23:
[]
Out[62]: <libtmux.common.tmux_cmd at 0x1042bed00>

Or in bash/zsh

 /usr/local/bin/tmux send-keys -t %23 -R \; clear-history -t %23
