When working with text, there are a few crucial shortcuts to know.

You should already know these

• Command + A : Select All
• Command + C : Copy
• Command + V : Paste

You may not know these

• Option + Arrow - Left : Jump to beginning of previous word
• Option + Arrow - Right : Jump to end of next word

• Shift + Option + Arrow-Left : Select previous word
• Shift + Option + Arrow-Right : Select next word

• Command + Arrow-Left : Jump to beginning of current line
• Command + Arrow-Right : Jump to end of current line

• Shift + Command + Arrow-Left : Select all words on line to the left of cursor
• Shift + Command + Arrow-Right : Select all words on line to the right of cursor

I just discovered this one

• Shift + Command + Arrow-Right + Arrow-Left : Select all words on current line
(in the past I did : Shift + Command + Arrow-Right then Shift + Command + Arrow-Left)

If you must use the mouse

• Double-click a word to select it
• Triple-click a word to select the whole line

If you’re on a Macbook, Powerbook, or iBook, it’s important to know that Function+Delete is the opposite of Delete; it removes a space in front of the cursor (the opposite of backspace).
