ConEmu: Keyboard shortcut to run "cls[ENTER]"

Question

In ConEmu, is it possible to create a Macro to type/paste "cls" then press [ENTER] and (ideally) assign it the keyboard shortcut [CTRL]+L ?

I am trying to emulate the clear screen function of the Linux Shell but for the Windows Command Prompt/PowerShell.

Use GuiMacro (Keys & Macro page)

print("\ecls\n")

"\e" emulates Esc express, "\n" emulates Enter.

Of course, you may assign this macro to any desirable hotkey.

Consider using Clink, it provides full Readline experience (including Ctrl+L and history search). Works great with ConEmu too.
