Hm. All of my aliases are convenience aliases:
cls=clear # Yes, I started out in DOS
ls=ls --color=auto
ll=ls -l
ll.=ls -al
And that's it. It's amazing how different peoples' workflows become once a tool allows a certain level of customizability.

ctlr + l is your new best friend.
cmd + k (too)
cmd-k also clears the scrollback buffer. It's probably the single thing I miss most after moving back to linux from macOS.
You can bind Alt-K to Reset and clear in gnome-terminal's keyboard bindings.
Thank you!
My remaining minor complaint: alt-k loses the prompt.
Alt-K and Ctrl-l will solve that :)

I use xterm (goes to check before I make an ass out of myself) and I'm utterly shocked this works. Amazing. Ctrl-l does indeed work.
alias ll='ls -halv'
