I had only planned on implementing a subset of the shortcuts for sure.

Here are the ones on my short list:

Jump backward one character 	Ctrl + B / ←
Jump backward one word 	Meta + B
Delete one character 	Ctrl + D
Delete one word 	Meta + D
Jump forward one character 	Ctrl + F / →
Jump forward one word 	Meta + F
Delete previous character 	Ctrl + H
Transpose characters 	Ctrl + T
Kill (cut) forwards to the end of the line 	Ctrl + K
Kill (cut) backwards to the start of the line 	Ctrl + U
Kill (cut) forwards to the end of the current word 	Meta + D
Kill (cut) backwards to the start of the current word 	Ctrl + W
Clear screen 	Ctrl + L (already implemented as 'refresh current report')
Go to beginning of line    Ctrl + A (already implemented)
Go to end of line    Ctrl + E (already implemented)

This project would probably be a good place to start: https://github.com/rr-/urwid_readline

IIRC it's overkill on features, and I don't really want to add another dependency, but it would probably at least shorten the implementation curve.
