[Bug 304477] Re: Ctrl-L is a poor keybinding for "Clear"

[EvanCarroll]

I don't believe pidgin clears logs with Ctrl+L just the window buffer. I
tend to like the Ctrl+L myself because I use it often. I don't see how
the behavoir of firefox should be used to justify the behavoir of an IM
client any more than the behavoir a ptty. In some applications Ctrl+L
means location, in others it means clear. This doesn't seem horribly
inconsistent on the grand scheme of things because it wouldn't make
sense in pidgin to have a location-keybinding, or in nautilus to have a
clear. Ctrl+C would be better if it wasn't already taken by sigint --
which really raises the question wtf is Ctrl+C sigint in a modern
system, can't we move kernel signals to SysRq F1-F12, that would seem
more appropriate.
