I end up using the built-in emacs key bindings a lot (they also work in many shells).

Ctrl-k (cut to the end of the current line and save it in a special secret extra clipboard) and ctrl-y to paste

Ctrl-e to go to the end of a line, ctrl-a to go to the beginning.

Ctrl-d to forward-delete, ctrl-t to transpose characters (this rarely saves time but I do it anyway).

You can also use ctrl with b, f, p, and n to go back or forwards one character or to the previous or next line, but I just use the arrow keys.
