Clear terminal screen using script and a keyboard shortcut

Support & Help Requests
10

I created a script /home/user/fix7 with contents:

windowid=$(xdotool getwindowfocus)
sleep 0.5
xdotool windowactivate --sync $windowid type 'clear'
xdotool windowactivate --sync $windowid key Return

made it exec chmod +x /home/user/fix7

I went to Control Center, created a custom shortcut
name: clear my screen
command: /home/user/fix7

Then assigned alt+C to that shortcut.

Started a terminal, df, then pressed alt+C .... terminal cleared.

Can someone test this?
