Hmm, FYI most of those work in the safari reply box. I think Apple put them for all Cocoa text fields not just terminal :-)

It is the NSTextField that accepts those commands. The prefix NS stands for NeXTSTEP, so the functionality existed long before Cocoa.

Yea, but you have to hit Ctrl+Option or Cmd+Option (can't remember which off the top of my head) for Meta though, instead of just Option (which is what most people bind to Meta in Terminal.app or iTerm.app).
