Some of my favorites are pretty far down the list:
I was using Control-A and Control-K a lot on the command line to jump to the beginning of the line, and then erase the rest of the line and tried it once somewhere else and it worked! The other way to do this same sequence (Cmd-right Cmd-Shift-Left)doesn't work in the terminal, and would require me to take my hands off the home row to use the arrow keys (until recently [1] )
Option+arrow to jump by a word is also handy, but I almost never land exactly where I want relative to punctuation the first time.
[1] I am currently using a Kinesis Freestyle Pro with arrows mapped to right-spacebar + [IJKL]. They are still working out some issues for me where it fails if I press Command before Fn (mapped to right space bar). If anyone has a split keyboard recommendation where this would currently work without the order dependency issues with the modifier keys please let me know!

This is the behavior of emacs; I'm very happy as I spend most of my time in a terminal window that I can use c- shortcuts both in emacs and in the OS natively.
