Issue: [Accessibility] Cannot clear the SCM input history
Labels: bug,accessibility,scm,editor-input

Type: <b>Bug</b>

CC @meganrogge 

In source control view where users enter and submit their commit message, users can navigate through their previous input history via UpArrow/DownArrow  keys.

However, there does not seem to be a way to clear this history, which may be confusing for screen reader users when reviewing their commit message.
