Ctl-U to delete everything on the line before cursor.
Ctl-E to skip to end of line.
Ctl-A to skip to beginning of line.
ctrl-b: move cursor back one character
ctrl-f: move cursor foward one character
ctrl-d: delete character under cursor
But that's more key presses than just using existing keys
I find it easier using my pinky to hit ctrl than taking my fingers off the home row to use the arrow keys.
