I thought it'd be a pain but installing programs through the terminal is actually so nice, I never would have expected it

I believe, these are Emacs shortcuts. There's also
set -o viin bash, but I've never used it, so can't vouch for it.That’s good to know. It’s interesting that the other commenter thinks emacs shortcuts are illogical. I’ll make my best guesses at the logic
a is the beginning of the alphabet; e for end (of line)
No idea here. Seems similar to nano with k-“cut” and u-”uncut”.
w for word obviously.
r reverse, b back, f forward. Not sure why alt vs control though; presumably ctrl+b and ctrl+f do different things although I know emacs likes to use Alt (“Meta”) a lot.
In the 1980s, Digital Equipment Corporation had a word processor, WPS. Ctrl-u cleared the line you were typing and put it into the paste buffer. Maybe legacy usage?
Explains why they are so illogical! Unfortunately i think its better to just learn the defaults since i remote into lots of servers where i dont carry my config
