cmd + k (too)

cmd-k also clears the scrollback buffer. It's probably the single thing I miss most after moving back to linux from macOS.

You can bind Alt-K to Reset and clear in gnome-terminal's keyboard bindings.

Thank you!

My remaining minor complaint: alt-k loses the prompt.

Alt-K and Ctrl-l will solve that :)

> ctlr + l is your new best friend.

I use xterm (goes to check before I make an ass out of myself) and I'm utterly shocked this works. Amazing. Ctrl-l does indeed work.
