SUMMARY
Feature request: Add a keyboard shortcut (can be unbound by default) to clear all text selection.

I would specifically like to bind this to the Esc key, to clear all marked/highlighted text in the current terminal.

Requested behaviour:
1. Open Keyboard Shortcut configuration panel, and there should be an item for "clear text selection"
2. I should be able to this to a custom binding, e.g. "Esc"
3. Now I can click and drag in the main terminal to select some text (for copying etc.)
4. Then I can press Esc to clear said selection
