It may not be stylish, but I was very happy when I realised that CTRL+L will clear the screen, decent speed up if you're doing a load of demos and want the cursor at the top of the terminal
Unfortunately, Emacs uses CTRL+L to scroll the text buffer so that the caret is in the center. This collision means I often clear terminals by accident.
I’d just settle for macOS’ Terminal.app’s ⌘-K, that resets the terminal, and clears all the screen including scroll back window. Something so basic I have it in muscle memory but I haven’t found the equivalent in Linux terminals.
It's too bad it's so slow though (in terms of throughput, that is; latency is pretty okay).

I have mapped capslock to ctrl (esc if used without modifiers) which made ctrl+L extremely comfortable for me.
I don’t quite understand why. With one hand or two?

A lot of people swear by stuff like iTerm2, but I'm almost a little ashamed to admit that even though I have iTerm configured to my taste, I often still reach for macOS' native terminal. It's not gloriously beautiful or anything (basic Zsh with powerline for the shell), but it just seems to work great without the frills. Little shortcuts that think of stuff like this without any configuration (iTerms is impressively…

It does a cycle in Emacs, actually. First it centers, then it puts the caret at the bottom, then it puts it an the top (like readline, in a way)

The fact that Ternimal.app and iTerm2 use different keyboard shortcuts for clearing scrollback buffer (⌥⌘K vs ⇧⌘K) is a constant frustration of my spotty use of Terminal.app. I would instinctively hit the iTerm2 shortcut, which brings up a connect to server panel or something.

It's also super helpful when you want to run one command which spews out a bunch of errors, and then read the first error. Cmd-K, enter, and fling up the the trackpad. I think I'd have to pipe to less if I don't have cmd-K.

Cmd up and down navigates between prompts, so you don’t even have to scroll
