Comment:

 I have seen less than five people ever complain about the default
 keybinding for "clear history" in all the time I've been involved with
 Pidgin (more than 6 years at this point).  The ^L binding has been in
 place for years, and such a small number of complaints is highly unlikely
 to convince us that the binding needs to be changed.  The confusion for
 existing users far outweighs any so-called benefit of the change.

 As I said in my previous comment, it is possible to rebind the action, and
 even remove the binding if you want.  It's documented in the FAQ.  I'd
 suggest changing the keybinding for yourself if you feel it causes you
 trouble.

 We do not currently collect any sort of information from installed
 instances of Pidgin or libpurple, and we are unlikely ever to collect
 information as detailed as keybinding use if we do implement usage data
 collection.
