Disable cmd+k when using Vim in terminal?

Question

So when I'm using Vim in the mac osx terminal I accidentally enter the command cmd+k that clears my terminal because I'm used to the motion, this makes me have to exit vim and enter again. I want to know if theres a way to disable this.

For example this is me editing my .vimrc

Then I enter the command and my terminal looks like this:

Is there a way to disable this command when using Vim only? I want to continue using it when using the terminal outside Vim. Thanks

Found the answer to this question while looking for how to do the same thing in tmux

Essentially, tell iTerm2 to map cmd+k to send the control sequence 0x0c

Instead of restarting vim use CTRL-L to redraw the screen.
