Thanks for the suggestion! This is actually already being tracked by another issue on our repo - please refer to #1882 for more discussion.

/dup #1882

As I said in that thread:

To clarify for future me - cmd+k is not something that's being handled by bash or the shell. This is the Terminal itself handling the keybinding, and clearing both the buffer and the scrollback.

You've described a user story that makes sense to me, so I'm gonna put this on the backlog.

• We'd probably want Feature Request: Support arbitrary arguments for keybindings #1142 to be able to support adding keybindings for Clear Screen, Clear Scrollback, or Clear Both all on the same "clear" action.
• We'll need Support manually clearing the conpty buffer #1193 for clearing the conpty buffer. W/o this, we'll just get the screen repainted immediately.
