I checked in a few different terminal emulators and CTRL + L performs the same function as 'clear'.
I did not know this. Sure, it's probably in the help files somewhere, but it's much more enjoyable discovering this by accident. I've been at this a long time, so finding a neat shortcut like that is pretty neat. (I usually use the 'clear' function before taking screenshots for the site.)
I meant to CTRL + L to open the address bar in the browser, but I'm kinda prone and pressed the mouse button (I presume) which made the terminal take focus and it cleared the terminal. I tested again and in a few other terminal emulators and it appears fairly universal.
Alas, there's not enough meat here to turn this into an article or anything. Well, I could probably look for 'universal' keyboard shortcuts for terminals or something like that.
