Ctrl+L just rolls up your screen. Try Ctrl+Shift+X if you dont want to get confused between what was before on the screen, and what would be there when you run the next command

also: tput clear
@mpb: Command "clear" alone does the same.
@mrttlemonde: I actually found this one by mistake today. Good shortcut since I was a "clear" addict.
It's the little things. :)
Nice :)
This is great, if you have the emacs keyboard shortcuts enabled for your shell. If you have the vi keyboard shortcuts, this won't work.
For OS-X ctrl + l it is not really clean screen, it just move log up out current screen so you still able to scroll it.
When you press command + k it really clear console. As I know Linuxes behave similar, you should find right shortcut.
lovely!
It is useful when you typing a command and you want to clear!:)
