This handling comes from readline, rather than your terminal/shell.

Readline has many shortcuts available here's a random assortment:

^W, ^U, ^C, ^S, ^Q, ^Z, etc are handled by the terminal driver. See stty -a

Useful tip. Made me realise ctrl-s works to go to start of line and ctrl-e to end of line. This is probably common knowledge for any Linux user but for me as a Mac user it's a revelation.

You mean ctrl-a for beginning-of-line?

Yeah, it's ctrl-A for start of line.
