Once set, you can search through the command history with esc-K, and use vi command to edit the line (replace words, characters, etc.) It's generally easier than back-spacing and re-typing (for those familiar with vi).

Any program that uses readline to manage input will support them. That's why they work in MySQL, as well as many other programs. In fact, if you have the rlwrap program installed, you can wrap ANY program in a readline instance! Try installing it, and then typing: $ rlwrap cat The readline utility can also be highly customized by using the ~/.inputrc file. I recommend checking it out: $ man readline For a list of handy bash shortcuts, check out http://commandlinefu.com These aren't "bash" shortcuts, per se. They're readline shortcuts.
