Steps to reproduce:
I opened the console (cmd+alt+i) and tried to clear the console using the keyboard shortcut: cmd+k
Actual results:
Instead of clearing the console (I'm focused on the console input) it changes the focus to the address bar and replaces the input of the address bar to ?.
Expected results:
It should've cleared the console.

Hello Tim, thanks for the report!
We do support <kbd>Ctrl+L</kbd> to clear the console.
Is there any places where we tell people to use <kbd>Cmd+K</kbd> ?

Ah that makes sense, I think I remembered it wrong. That being said, cmd+k is the default way to clear the terminal on Mac (ctrl+l also works but cmd+k is more widely used if you search for "clear terminal mac"), also Chrome supports both cmd+k and ctrl+l.

okay, I changed the bug title. Thanks for the explanation, I think it would be reasonable to have it.

This is a common shortcut on OSX to clear terminal output, and something that Chrome does,
so it makes sense to implement it in our console as well.

This is not working in Dev 67.0b5 (on 3/28/19). When I hit Ctrl+K on Windows, the focus jumps to the search box and does the same in Firefox Developer 67.0b5 in Linux. Is this not implemented yet?

Hello Irene, this is an OSX only change, I renamed the bug title to make it clearer.
Sorry about the confusion!
