It looks like you're getting downvoted without explanation: Ctrl+L doesn't clear the scrollback, it just scrolls the terminal down.

Alacritty clears with Ctrl-L, out-of-the-box.

Also, from `man bash`...

> clear-screen (C-l) Clear the screen leaving the current line at the top of the screen. With an argument, refresh the current line without clearing the screen.
