Summary0002958: Python console should have common readline shortcuts
DescriptionFor example:
  • Ctrl+L: clear screen
  • Ctrl+k: delete after cursor
  • Ctrl+a: jump to beginning of line
  • Ctrl+u: delete before cursor
Reference: http://www.bigsmoke.us/readline/shortcuts

Using these shortcuts takes them from others if they are not somehow only active in Python console and should be a key concern.

At least Ctrl+A is a bad decision because this is the shortcut to select all. And there are already keyboard buttons to jump to the beginning and end of a line: Pos and End which I think is used by many text editors, too.
