If you use bash, read the "Command Line Editing" section of "info readline".

You can also tweak the behavior of readline (for Bash and other applications) and custom make your own key combinations by editing your ~/.inputrc file. A random example from mine:

    # Insert double quotes & set cursor between them
    "\C-x\"": "\"\"\eb"
    #
    # Insert single quotes & set cursor between them
    "\C-x'": "''\eb"
