Command-line / Shortcut-key to clear Thonny's shell

Original report by Anonymous.

Hi devs,

First, I’d like to congratulate you for this little gem of a Python IDE! Great work!

I’m using Thonny ver 2.1.13 to teach Python to undergrads at my university. The issue that I’d like to report with Thonny here is related to issue #99. Basically, Thonny needs a command or a shortcut key to clear the shell screen when needed. Issue #99 was solved by adding a menu command under the menu Edit that clears the screen. However in most Python IDEs it’s possible to quickly clear the shell using Ctrl+L, or by adding these lines to your code :

import os
os.system('cls')  # on windows

It would be great if there’s something similar in Thonny making it more universal and similar to other IDEs.

Thanking you so much in advance for your consideration.

Regards,
