When the terminal is focused, ⌘K clears the screen and scrollback, like Terminal.app. There's a setting to turn it off; it stays on by default.

Description
Adds the standard macOS terminal shortcut ⌘K to CodeEdit’s integrated terminal.
When the terminal view is focused and the setting is enabled (default), ⌘K clears both the visible buffer and the scrollback. Nothing is sent to the shell — only the emulator buffer is cleared, same idea as Terminal.app and VS Code.
Also adds a Clear to Start with ⌘K toggle under Terminal Settings so it can be turned off if needed.

Screenshots
N/A — no UI layout changes beyond a new Terminal Settings toggle. Behavior is keyboard-only in the terminal.
