[DOCS] Interactive mode and keybindings docs show outdated `Ctrl+L` behavior

Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode

Section/Topic

Ctrl+L in the "Keyboard shortcuts" / "General controls" table, plus the default shortcut mappings on the keybindings page

Current Documentation

The docs currently say:

In Interactive mode → General controls: | Ctrl+L | Clear prompt input | Clears typed text, keeps conversation history |

In Customize keyboard shortcuts: | app:redraw | (unbound) | Force terminal redraw | | chat:clearInput | Ctrl+L | Clear prompt input |

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.111 says:

Ctrl+L now clears the screen and forces a full redraw — use this to recover when Cmd+K leaves the UI partially blank. Use Ctrl+U or double-Esc to clear prompt input.

The current docs still describe Ctrl+L as a prompt-clearing shortcut and show redraw as unbound.

A. Interactive mode documents the old behavior

Users reading the keyboard shortcut table are told that Ctrl+L clears typed text, but the release notes say the shortcut now exists to clear the screen and force a redraw.

B. Keybindings does not reflect the shipped default behavior

The keybindings reference still shows app:redraw as unbound and chat:clearInput on Ctrl+L, so it does not explain the current default shortcut behavior or point users to Ctrl+U / double-Esc for clearing prompt input.

Suggested Improvement

Update both pages to match the v2.1.111 behavior:

• In Interactive mode, change the Ctrl+L row to describe clearing the screen and forcing a full redraw, including the recovery use case for partially blank UI.
• In the same shortcut docs, point users to Ctrl+U or double-Esc for clearing prompt input.
• In Customize keyboard shortcuts, clarify how the default Ctrl+L behavior relates to app:redraw and chat:clearInput so custom keybinding users know which action is actually bound by default.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
