In an external terminal window, typing cmd+K clears all text. The default keyboard shortcuts contain the following, indicating that this should work in the integrated terminal too:

{ "key": "cmd+k",                 "command": "workbench.action.terminal.clear",
                                     "when": "terminalFocus" },

Steps to Reproduce:

1. In the Terminal pane, type cmd+K to clear the text.
2. Instead of clearing, the status line displays "Waiting for second key of chord".

Reproduces without extensions: Yes

Works for me, do you have any custom keybindings?

[svenax]

I do have custom bindings with a cmd+k prefix. It works if I remove those, so apparently builtin and custom bindings are handled differently. Here are the relevant bindings:

    {
        "key": "cmd+k w",
        "command": "editor.action.toggleWordWrap"
    },
    { 
        "key": "cmd+k f",               
        "command": "-workbench.action.closeFolder" 
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+k f",
        "command": "editor.action.formatDocument",
        "when": "editorHasDocumentFormattingProvider && editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
    },

@svenax overriding a coord keybinding is a little fragile, you will notice in the default keybindings that cmd+k is below all the other chord keybindings (except for markdown preview which has a different context). This is intentional and is how they're overridden when the terminal is focused.

The current way around this is to just redefine cmd+k again underneath your custom keybindings:

    {
        "key": "cmd+k w",
        "command": "editor.action.toggleWordWrap"
    },
    { 
        "key": "cmd+k f",               
        "command": "-workbench.action.closeFolder" 
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+k f",
        "command": "editor.action.formatDocument",
        "when": "editorHasDocumentFormattingProvider && editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
    },
{ "key": "cmd+k",                 "command": "workbench.action.terminal.clear",
                                     "when": "terminalFocus" },
