Issue

Ever since the latest update, it seems I can't clear the terminal with command+K. This issue only happens when I have done npm start to start webpack for one of my apps. Currently, whenever I press command+K, it makes ^L appear at the bottom of the terminal.

Here is a screenshot of the issue: (You can see the ^L come everytime I try to clear at the bottom):

EDIT: Just to provide some more info, if I exit out of the process with control+C, and then run the clear with command+K it works fine.

Research direction
Investigate the handling of Command+K keybinding in Hyper. Check the keybinding configuration in the app's source code, specifically in files related to terminal input handling. Look at recent changes to the keybinding logic that might have introduced this regression. The issue report indicates that the issue occurs during a background process (npm start), suggesting that the keybinding might be intercepted by the active process. Consider reviewing the logic that determines when to send key combinations to the terminal versus Hyper's UI.
