I'd almost like to give this bug a minus vote if I could, just because the best that I could do would be to add 'cls' as another way to access the functionality that ctrl-L already provides. We have no precedent for providing commands that duplicate existing keystrokes, and I'm not crazy about setting one. The code that would be added isn't the code for clearing the screen (which already exists), it would be code that ties the "logical" command (text) processing into the "physical" screen handling. In addition to being architecturally clumsy, it seems low-value compared to lots of other shell improvements that could be made. Just sayin' ... |

Ctrl-L works now - this would be nice too |
