clear because apparently I am too scatterbrained to comprehend more than one full page of text in the terminal

I like using CRTL+L to clear. It's nice because you can have a command typed out and still be able to press CTRL+L to clear the screen and keep the command typed out.

I almost never use clear because i'm afraid if i will need the text later.(just like infinity tab number on firefox)
