> shell motions between macOS and reasonable OSes

All the movement commands I know work the same in the terminal on a default install of macOS as it does in the terminal on various Linux distros I use.

Ctrl+A to go to beginning of line

Ctrl+E to go to end of line

Esc, B to jump cursor one word backwards

Esc, F to jump cursor one word forward

Ctrl+W to delete backwards until beginning of word

And so on

Both in current versions of macOS where zsh is the default shell, and in older versions of macOS where bash was the default shell.

Am I misunderstanding what you are referring to by shell motions?
