Ahh, useful thanks. I've been using Ctrl-l for years. cmd-k is an easier 'chord' for me on the kinesis so I'll switch.

If you are logging in in multiple *nix systems I suggest you keep the Ctrl+l.

I started to notice that the more I adopt in terminal specific commands to MacOS the hard is to be productive while I login to various systems.

I want also to force myself (but did not do it yet) to use a simpler Vim configuration. Maybe just line numbers so that when I login into a new system I should not need any plugin or any other shortcuts. Still I like my .vimrc file but I plan to do this in near future.

I assume you're talking about physically logging into different machines since cmd-k is a shortcut key for the terminal and will work regardless of which machine you ssh into.

cmd-k works well for me since I don't think I've personally logged in directly to a non-Mac *nix-like system in 15+ years.

vim is different since it requires configuration on the same system.
