Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

When I create a new request, I want that I make a new clean request that doesn't have its body or URL copied over from some previous request.

Why should this be worked on?

This does more harm than good because I end up removing everything most of the time; scenarios where I actually keep some of the old stuff is quite rare, which makes the current behaviour quite annoying.

This is a good feature request. Since now we have the ability to duplicate a request, I think creating a new request should start with a fresh context.

While we prioritise this feature for next release candidates, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmd + I to reset the current active request to its default context without manually clearing each one.
