[Feature Request] Add Ctrl+L keyboard shortcut for clearing terminal output
Feature Request
Problem
Currently, users need to type the clear command to clear the Claude Code terminal output. This is less convenient than the standard Ctrl+L shortcut that works in most terminals and CLI applications.
Proposed Solution
Add support for Ctrl+L (Control+L) keyboard shortcut to clear the terminal output, similar to how it works in bash, zsh, and other terminal applications.
Current Workaround
Users currently work around this by:
- Typing
clearcommand - Using Ctrl+L doesn't work (as mentioned in #1341 where users manually clear with Ctrl+L)
Benefits
- Improved user experience and muscle memory consistency
- Faster terminal clearing without typing commands
- Standard terminal behavior users expect
Additional Context
This would complement the existing /clear command (mentioned in #1561) and provide a more intuitive keyboard shortcut for the same functionality.
