C-l should clear the screen AND show the prompt. #561

Description

currently, C-l clears the screen in windows and a new prompt is displayed.

The same command in linux clears the screen, but does not display a new prompt.

    Looks like Bash is intercepting C-L as designed and issuing a native clear command. If you issue clear directly to PowerShell, its is correctly aliased to native clear and behaves as excepted. PowerShell's host does not currently intercept C-L.

    This is not a bug, and is expected behavior. Improving this behavior is the purview of PSReadLine, not our current project.

    PSReadline is a module that doesn't ship with powershell- it was something that is installed later. This is standard powershell out-of-the-box functionality.

    Yes, but they expect it to.
