move_cursor_end_of_line _should_ work, does the End-key work for you ?

you can delete a line either by pressing backspace or by selecting the line and press F6.

Obtaining key-strokes through Ncurses is not easy. A combination such as CTRL+ARROW_LEFT is only possible to catch, if I do platform specific code. Yes, move cursor per word is vital :-)

yes, description of the keybindings should go to README. I will add a section about it.

yes, F1 => Help. Silly me I had never thought about this. I think I implement the help-buffer in the Ncurses frontend, seperated from the backend. Thanks.

Maybe a small documentation file called KEYS on the top level distribution will do. Or a section in the README file.

And also maybe F1 for help.

Yes, I know, currently there's no key binding for deleting a line, moving cursor per-word, move cursor to the end of line, etc. But I spent a minute wondering and pressing random key combinations before I had to delve into the source code.
