Description

When using 'clear' (⌘K) with content that is longer than the maximum displayed rows, it is possible to reach the cleared content by scrolling up. When clearing content that is shorter than this amount of rows however, the content is seemingly lost and not available when scrolling. In Terminal.app, cleared content appears to be available regardless of the amount of rows being cleared.

Research direction

Reproduce the clear shortcut with content shorter and longer than the displayed-row limit, then inspect Hyper's terminal clearing and scrollback handling. Done means short cleared content remains reachable by scrolling, matching the behavior described for Terminal.app.
