This is kind of a weird mix of UNIX/Emacs/bash and traditional Atari.

^A - move to start of buffer
^E - move to end of buffer
^U, Shift-Del - delete (clear) buffer
Shift-Clear or Ctrl-Clear: clear buffer and hide input box (show status)
^W - delete word to left of cursor
Left/Right arrows - move cursor
Backspace - delete the character to the left of the cursor
Ctrl-Del - delete the character under the cursor
Atari key - insert a ^B (meaning, toggle bold)
^U - delete to start of buffer
^K - kill (delete) to end of buffer.
^F or ctrl-shift-Up - move right by one word.
^B or ctrl-shift-Down - move left by one word.
Tab - in [private], pressing Tab on an empty input box inserts the
  last nick that PMed you (outside of a query).

Future plans:

History (if we can spare the RAM), maybe Start+Up/Down?
Up arrow *in an empty inputbox* - bring up last entered command.
   Can coexist with regular use of Up for movement.
^Y, Shift-Insert - paste (^K, ^U, ^W fill a paste buffer; need RAM)
Ctrl-Insert - toggle insert/typeover (does anyone care about this?)
Tab - For [server], complete channels. For channels, complete channel
nicks (we'll never have enough RAM to have full lists; search back
through screen memory is how it'll work)
Shift-Return: Maybe... send buffer but do not clear it.

The glyphs for these will appear as inverse letters, but will actually
be the appropriate low ASCII characters:
^I - toggle italic
^L - toggle underline
^S - toggle strikethrough
