En el blog de jyr tiene una entrada acerca de los atajos (shorcuts / key bindings) que usa diariamente, esta es mi lista un poco mas extensa no es que use todos pero si muchos de ellos.

Ctrl-a -> go to the start of command line

Ctrl-k -> delete from the prompt to the end of command line
Ctrl-l -> Clear the terminal screen

$Tab-Tab -> All system variables
@Tab-Tab -> Entries from “etc/hosts”

Shift-PageUp -> Previous screen of commands
Shift-PageDown -> Next screen of commands

set -o vi -> change to vi/wim mode keybindings forget the above :)
set -o emacs -> return to default bash keybindings

Perdón si no los “traduji” pero me dio flojera :) si alguien gusta mande un patch con la lista ordenada alfabéticamente y traducida de preferencia en pdf (cheat-sheet?) a mi correo, gracias :-P

Esto aplica a Bash principalmente junto con otras shells, es decir todo lo que use la libreria libreadline usa estos atajos prácticamente, ejemplos emacs, consola de python, etc.
