As far as I can tell, Control-K deletes from the cursor to the end of a line. Here are some other shortcuts I came across:
Control-A, move to the start of a line. Control-E, move to the end of a line. Control-F, move to the next character. Control-B, move to the previous character. Control-N, move to the next line. Control-P, move to the previous line. Control-O, insert a new line. Control-H, delete a character. Control-D, forward delete a character. Control-V, move to the end of the document. You can add shift to the movement keys to select text in the respective direction. Not sure why one would even want to use these, since the usual ones work perfectly, but there we are.

Also, note that these commands go back or forward from the cursor, so if you put your cursor on the U in "cursor" and hit option-del, only the c would be erased since the command goes to the start of the word. Also, on a related note, ctrl-t swaps two characters; place your cursor between any two characters, hit ctrl-t, and they are transposed. This is useful if, say, you write "teh" istead of "the". There are other commands for manipulating text that use the control key, but that is the one I use most often so it is the one I remember.
