Comment(by atagar):

 particular if it is described in the help panel.

 I disagree. Considering that over the course of two years this is the
 first time I've had a manual screen redraw request, providing any
 arbitrary hotkey probably isn't something that'll really address the issue
 here.

 It sounds to me like the real problem is that dtach (and maybe other
 terminal rendering apps) expect a ctrl+L keybinding to be available for
 redrawing by convention, so we'd really need this particular trigger to
 fulfill their expectations. Besides, no one reads the help menus. :P

 I'll look into this more after 1.4.2 has been released and had time to
 settle. In the meantime, patches welcome. Cheers! -Damian
