clear line when new vimux command is run?

[phinze]

So if I pop down to the vimux window and mess with it, or if I accidentally focus it and toss some gunk in the window, the next vimux command will fail because it sends the command after the gunk.

I'm wondering if vimux should send a ^U to the window to clear the current command line before sending its command. Maybe even a ^E^U so it doesn't matter if the cursor is in the middle of the line.

This would obviously not work for non-emacs-style shells, so I guess it would have to be configurable.

Does it seem like a worthwhile feature though? If so will take a shot at a pull request.

I've run into this problem as well but I didn't think about sending it a ^E^U, that is a great idea! That might also be able to ensure the vimux window isn't in scroll-mode before running the command by sending q^E^U.

You don't need the ^E since ^U clears the line regardless of cursor position.
