Thanks for this. I switched my input mode to VI and was greatly missing using Ctrl-L to clear the screen when in input mode. I hadn't known about the inputrc before. Adding this line below your "\C-p" line fixed that for me:

    "\C-l": clear-screen

Signs you have to revert to Emacs mode. Unless it's an assemblage, it's always a smell if you replace a unit of a body with that of a "competitor."

Oh wow, I didn't even think about that. I've been making do with Cmd+K on OSX and aliasing c to clear to get around the problem.

Command-K also does the trick

Command-K won't play nicely with tmux panes though.
