Hey, all! New to the group here, I was looking for any other feature proposals or discussions relating to this, but I didn't find anything.

Most interactive shells I've used for other languages allow you to accomplish what typing "clear" into iex does with a control-L keybinding. Has anyone considered incorporating this into iex?

Not sure what implications this might have or anything, I'd also be willing to try to take a stab at it, but I can't promise anything without possible guidance.

Thanks! You guys are awesome, really excited about this language and where it's going.

The terminal implementation we use for IEx comes from Erlang. So that would really be a feature proposal for the Erlang/OTP team. I believe they would easily accept it if it can be implemented both for Windows and Unix systems.
