Control + Backspace deletes entire words rather than individual characters
Control + Arrows also moves your text cursor by whole words. Combine it with shift and you can easily select a bunch of text without the mouse.

CTRL + Shift + Home/End will select all to the start/end of a document. I use that one a lot
