Implement CTRL + L or similar commands to discard a prompt

[thetinygoat]

What feature would you like to see?

Currently if i have typed a long prompt and i want to cancel it, either i have to delete it manually or quit the process and start again. if i have had a long conversation closing the process leads to losing context.

Are you interested in implementing this feature?

I agree, Ctrl-C and/or Esc should clear the current prompt (and Ctrl-C should not exit, even with confirmation). For now, Ctrl-U will delete an entire line. Since a prompt is probably not that many lines, holding down Ctrl-U is not a terrible solution.
