Oooo nasty! Never knew that shortcut existed (Hey! I'm a newbie). Well there are two ways to tackle this problem, first one is easier and convinient one to do; just remove the key-binding. You will have to add a new line in your /etc/inputrc (If I'm correct this only holds for bash and bash-like shells) "\C-l":"clear" Or set it to blank altogether "\C-l":"" I don't know how exactly to make a command execute through a key-binding (that would've been cool, if it comes out to be a possibility), but the first one here would print clear on the command prompt for the user to press return, and the second one would effectively disable it. I know this is just a hack to force your users to use clear instead of Ctrl-l. This could get annoying for some. I'm not sure if the key-binding could be reenabled by a local ~/.inputrc file. Secondly, you can edit your keymap to override the Ctrl-l keystroke. But, I'm not sure if there is a way that helps prevent kernel (kbd-driver) from forwarding the keystroke to bash.
