There's some discussion around that in this thread: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/9b4ea968-753f-4b5f-b46c-d7d3bf7c8f90%40manitou-mail.org The key point is that \r in this case used to clear the "previous query" buffer since there was nothing for it to remove from the "current query" buffer. I argued then that that was confusing and counterproductive, and I still think that. regards, tom lane
