"When you are working in a shell you certainly don’t want to waste your time using arrow keys or home/end keys to navigate around the command line. One of the most popular shells, bash - Bourne Again SHell, uses GNU’s Readline library for reading the command line. The GNU Readline library provides a set of functions for use by applications that allow users to edit command lines as they are typed in.

Both emacs and vi editing modes are available.
