For decades I've used ctrl-L (or cmd-L) in a Unix shell window to clear the terminal screen.
Too often, however, I would press return a bunch of times so that when I scrolled back up there was a visual break showing where the start of the latest command's output...
The other day I learned cmd-K (the ctrl version doesn't work... and like I've said there are way too many modifier keys on Macs) - this clears the screen and the scrollback buffer, so such flim-flammery is no longer needed.
