How do I clear an elixir shell?

Question

This isn't the most insightful question, but I really want to be able to press Control-L and have the shell iex clear the screen. Any idea how to do this or if there's another elixir shell with this build in?

You should also specify which shell /console you're discussing because that would make a difference. — Onorio Catenacci, Jan 10 '16 at 15:32

You can also use command + k to clear the screen.

Tmux users with split windows may want to avoid this method as it clears the entire screen buffer. – Kevin Genus Aug 20 '21 at 17:11
