Very helpful list of links. One aspect of working with the gnome-terminal that I found helpful was figuring out how to skip around text with the keyboard. It's almost definitely covered somewhere in the list, but I found the information somewhat buried when I searched for it, so I can make a really superficial list.
Moving Cursor & Text Manipulation
Left (word length): Ctrl + Left Arrow
Right (word length): Ctrl + Right Arrow
Left (character): Right Arrow, or Ctrl + B
Right (character): Left Arrow, or Ctrl + F
Skip to Beginning: Home, Ctrl + A
Skip to End (of line): End, Ctrl + E
Delete line from left of cursor: Ctrl + U
Delete line from after cursor: Ctrl + K
Delete word before cursor: Ctrl + W
Other shortcuts:
Enter command: (Enter, of course), Ctrl + J, Ctrl + N, Ctrl + I
Enter previous command (from history): Ctrl + P
Most of these were found by experimentation, I can't guarantee they'll all work, but they should.
