I want to know is there any shortcut to clear screen? Like cmd+ R on Mac, or ctrl + L on Linux.

That's a feature of the shell rather than the terminal itself. If you're using Powershell or a WSL bash shell, then Ctrl+L should clear the screen. I don't think the cmd shell has an equivalent shortcut though.
