With dual screen monitors this causes data/productivity loss. I often have irc on one screen and web-browser on the other. My eyesight is reading something in the web-browser, and I may press Ctrl+L to change url to something else and I may happen to have my focus on the irc-client.
It's ok if one can scroll-up and read the backscroll history (like in gnome-terminal). It's not ok xchat style of wiping the buffer, such that one is forced to read history logs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304477 Title: Ctrl-L is a poor keybinding for "Clear" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/304477/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
