I also find Ctrl-W for backspacing a word at a time useful and also Ctrl-A/E for jumping to the beginning and end of the current line.
Ctrl-L to clear the screen except the current line is also somewhat useful if you're at the bottom of the terminal screen and editing a long command line.
Somewhat less useful but neat is Alt-U which will cause the current word under the cursor to become all upper case and Alt-C which is similar but changes the first letter to upper case and the rest of the word to lower case.
