When I have too much stuff in my Linux command line, I press CTRL+L and it clears everything.
When I have too much stuff in my ROOT prompt, I type
.!clearand it clears everything.Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if ROOT could capture CTRL+L and do that
.!clearbehind the scenes.If this option is added, it would be nice that it is documented somewhere in the ROOT prompt commands #10055
Plan B would be to allow the user to define custom 'shortcuts' in a .root_shortcuts file, where one could specify that CTRL+L bind to .!clear or whatever you want. But I guess it would be better that this comes by default for everyone as it is quite generic.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Pressing or holding 'ENTER' many times.
