Answer 1

You should use the cls command as a key shortcut will be more difficult. There is something called AutoHotkey, you can try that and tell us if that helped you :)

Answer 2

For anyone still stumbling upon this post, as it comes up first in Google search:

With the new Windows Terminal, you can go under Settings -> Actions -> Add new -> Clear buffer and set the hotkey you want.

This scripts works for the CMD shell, with Autohotkey 2.0

#SingleInstance
#Requires Autohotkey v2.0
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass")
^L::{
SendText("cls")
Send("{Enter}")
return
}
#HotIf
