Use control+a for HOME and control+e for END in Terminal.
Also use esc+f to move to the beginning of the next word and esc+b to move to the beginning of the current word. (you Must be careful about current and next)
⌘← can be assigned to \eOH and ⌘→ to \eOF. You could assign ⌥← to \eb like in Terminal, but it doesn't work in vi mode or nano.
In emacs mode you could also add this to .inputrc:
"\e[1;9D": backward-word
"\e[1;9C": forward-word
"\e[3~": kill-word
C-v shows the escape sequence for the next key combination. ^[ is ESC in caret notation. bind -p prints currently bound commands.
