[New-bugs-announce] [issue42771] Implement interactive hotkey, Ctrl+L to clear the console in Windows.

[Mike Miller]

New submission from Mike Miller <python.org at mgmiller.net>:

The Ctrl+L as clear-screen hotkey is supported just about everywhere, Unix and Windows, with the exceptions of cmd.exe and python.exe interactive mode.

As the legacy cmd.exe can be easily replaced, that leaves python.exe.  Likely needs to be configured via readline or its analog used under Windows.

Documenting it would be good too.  Am happy to help, write, or test.
