I tried to do something like that :
bind -m ^L=^Uclear^M^Y
If you do each steps one by one, it works: remove the line, use clear
and put the line back on the screen. For some reason once it's in the
bind, it doesn't 'use' the ^Y at the end. In fact if you ^Y by hand
after this user-defined ^L, it 'pastes' the non-empty line that was
there before the clear.
