We would like a broom-style clear icon that connotes "clean this stuff up" more than "delete this". This would be used in the Notifications and Clipboard plasmoids for their clear buttons. See related discussion in https://phabricator.kde.org/D11306 Visually, we're envisioning something like this: https://png.icons8.com/broom/win8/1600
+1 from me, a special +1 for a broom, that is also used by other icon sets (e.g. tango) as it is 1) independent of the location of items to be cleared (e.g. the sometimes used <x] icon looks bad on RTL languages) 2) rather culturally independent 3) known and recognizable
The "edit-paste-style" icon looks kind of like a hand broom. It also looks kind of like a paintbrush too though.

Yes, and it is already used as that in various places (e.g. to copy and paste formatting), so it's not a candidate. Something similar but more broom-looking would be perfect :)
Yeah, I only found out about it because Lollypop (an excellent GTK music player) uses this icon as a clear button, so evidently the developer Cedric Bellegarde had the same idea as us.
FWIW, there's an "edit-clear-all" that could make sense using? https://phabricator.kde.org/source/breeze-icons/browse/master/icons/actions/symbolic/edit-clear-all-symbolic.svg It looks like a broom too.
good idea will check and submit a broom.
