CTR + u will delete the whole command. I use that a lot so I don't have to backspace. It's saved me a ton of time

., to cycle through arguments used in previous commandsI just use control C, is there a difference other than whether the line shows up or not?
How about ctrl+c to cancel and clear the command you are typing? It's much easier because you only need 1 hand, and does not impact your shell's history.
And then ctrl+y to paste it back and recover that text.
This is great for when you type in your root password incorrectly!
