Description

With most Unix terminals, ctrl-L will clear/redraw the screen, and on macOS with either Terminal.app or iTerm2, cmd-K will clear the screen and flush the scroll back buffer. I do both of those quite a lot and I'd love to be able to do that with blink as well.

Research direction

Review closed pull request #1088 first, then trace Blink’s terminal input handling; no file path or test is named in the issue. Compare the existing behavior with the requested Ctrl-L redraw and Cmd-K clear-and-flush-scrollback behavior, and consider the issue done only when both shortcuts work.
