1.4.2 Escape commands for erasing text

E [ 0 J

Same as E [ J.

E [ 1 J

Erase from home position to point.

E [ 2 J

Erase whole sub-buffer.

E [ K

Erase from point to end of screen line.

E [ 0 K

Same as E [ K.

E [ 1 K

Erase from beginning of screen line to point.

E [ 2 K

Erase whole screen line.
