List options wont clear from screen after selected.

I am trying to prompt the user for multiple questions using inquirer.List. I am able to select the items but the options wont clear away when asking for the next one.

>>> inquirer.prompt(questions);inquirer.prompt(questions)

Is it possible to clear the options like inquirer.js does?

I am afraid there is no support for this feature at this moment.

This can achieved by adding

print(self.terminal.home + self.terminal.clear, end="")

before this, however this could come with potential side effects.

Thanks for this awesome package! I was running into this problem yesterday, and I've customize a component to solve it after digging into source code.

The idea of this implementation is that we have to know have many lines have been printed, and then we can move the cursor to that line and clear those lines under it. (with the help of blessed.Terminal().move_up() and blessed.Terminal().clear_eol())

And also thanks for the advice from @mauricesvp. But since it will clear the whole history (printed lines) in current terminal, I have to give up on it.
