Remember the shortcuts that save time
Shortcuts save time (http://coderwall.com/p/qcb67q), but now you need to actually remember them. The quick and easy way, since you're already in terminal-land, is to add some help to your .profile or .bashrc file:
bash_help () {
echo "Ctrl-A Start of line"
echo "Ctrl-E End of line"
echo "Alt-B Previous word"
echo "Alt-F Next word"
echo "Ctrl-X Ctrl-X Start or end of line"
echo "Ctrl-K Delete rest of line"
echo "Alt-D Delete next word"
echo "Ctrl-W Delete previous word"
echo "Ctrl-X Ctrl-E Open command in $EDITOR"
echo "^wrong^right^ Replace word in previous command"
}

Ctrl-E End of line
