For me ctrl+shift+L works, but ctrl+shift+D (it's mapped to Document package in RStudio) doesn't -- it copies current line instead. Not sure if that's the same problem as you have.
I had this happen on multiple machines (both on Macs and on Linux), so not sure what I'm doing wrong to produce this behavior.
Hi, thanks a lot for your answer. I was actually afraid, that I'm the only one with this problem. I had seen the post to which you provided the link. In my case, the key shortcut does not clear the console as described there (Crtl-L would do so), but just marks the line as you also wrote.
