Don't forget cmd-del to delete to the start of a line (I assume fn-del to delete to the end). Also, note that these commands go back or forward from the cursor, so if you put your cursor on the U in "cursor" and hit option-del, only the c would be erased since the command goes to the start of the word. Also, on a related note, ctrl-t swaps two characters; place your cursor between any two characters, hit ctrl-t, and they are transposed. This is useful if, say, you write "teh" istead of "the". There are other commands for manipulating text that use the control key, but that is the one I use most often so it is the one I remember.
