Left-arrow is Ctrl-H and right-arrow is Ctrl-U.  If you're going to do those
keys, though, you might as well implement the up-arrow (Ctrl-K) and
down-arrow (Ctrl-J)...they didn't make their appearance until the IIe came
along, but since the keys are present, it'd be nice to have them.  Lack of
up- and down-arrow keys was a bit of an annoyance when I was debugging the
beer-fridge software on the II+.  (The firmware might not have known
anything about them, but I use a full-screen editor published years ago in
Nibble for editing BASIC programs and another full-screen editor I wrote for
editing hex data.)
