command line cursor moving shortcuts

• solution answer from {SO}

• ALT+F to jump Forward by a word.
• ALT+B to jump Backward by a word.

Additionally some Emacs-style key bindings for simple text navigation seem to work on bash shells. You can use:

• CTRL+F to move forward by a char
• CTRL+B to move backward by a char
• CTRL+A to jump to start of the line
• CTRL+E to jump to end of the line
• CTRL+K to kill the line starting from the cursor position
• ALT+D to delete a word starting from the current cursor position
• CTRL+W to remove the word backwards from cursor position
• CTRL+Y to paste text from the kill buffer
• CTRL+R to reverse search for commands you typed in the past from your history.
• CTRL+S to forward search (works in ZSH for me but not bash)
