Ctrl+a - go to beginning of line (alpha? I dunno)

ctrl+e - go to (e)nd of the line

alt+f - (f)orward one word

alt+b - (b)ack one word

You might already know these but no one else has posted them on this thread yet. I work in both Linux and Mac a lot and this works for them. No idea about Windows I'm no longer forced to use it at work ๐Ÿ™‚

Also Ctrl + w to delete one word backwards (which is what OP wants to do).

Edit: Nvm I misread the post, deleting is not what OP wants to do. Still gonna keep this because Ctrl + w is easily the readline shortcut I use the most.
