Emacs key bindsing are universal in os x
Authored by: SOX on Jun 03, '05 11:55:42AM

All of these are a subset of the emacs key-bindings. so look at emacs and you will find a list.

a few of my favorites:
ctrl-a move to begining of line
ctrl-e mode to end of line
ctrl-k cut from cursor to end of line
ctrl-y paste previous cut at cursor

By the way these work in ALL cocoa application text frames. this includes any fill-out form on a webpage, mail.app, text-edit, spotlight,....

also shell specific handy keys are:
ctrl-c kills job
ctrl-z suspends job, retruns prompt; type "fg" to resume it.
ctrl-u kills entire line
ctrl-s halts all screen printing (your jobs may halt too!)
ctrl-q resumes screen printing.
