On a Mac:

mkdir -p $HOME/Library/KeyBindings
cat >$HOME/Library/KeyBindings <<EOF
{
 "^u" = "deleteToBeginningOfLine:";
 "^w" = "deleteWordBackward:";
}
EOF

will make ^U and ^W work across all applications.

Neat.  If you could make the tab key actually generate
a tab character, that would be fantastic.
