The OP tip is nice to have built-in now. If I recall correctly, this was an option that had to be turned on in Terminal Preferences in earlier releases. Another fave of mine: Ctrl-w for deleting whole "words" at a time. Better than holding that delete key down. The default shell for OS X appears to be bash (my favorite shell as a Linux user as well). Just google for Bash shortcuts.
