Readline is the library bash uses for editing the input line, and it has some nice movement keys. For example Alt-b moves the cursor back a word, Ctrl-u deletes to the beginning of the line, Ctrl-w removes one word behind the cursor. They work in a bunch of other programs, like the Python interpreter's interactive mode for example.
