Liner
Liner is a command line editor with history. It was inspired by linenoise; everything Unix-like is a VT100 (or is trying very hard to be). If your terminal is not pretending to be a VT100, change it. Liner also support Windows.
Liner is released under the X11 license (which is similar to the new BSD license).

The following line editing commands are supported on platforms and terminals that Liner supports:
Keystroke | Action |

Ctrl-F, Right | Move cursor one character right |
Ctrl-Left, Alt-B | Move cursor to previous word |
Ctrl-Right, Alt-F | Move cursor to next word |
Ctrl-D, Del | (if line is not empty) Delete character under cursor |
Ctrl-D | (if line is empty) End of File - usually quits application |
Ctrl-C | Reset input (create new empty prompt) |
Ctrl-L | Clear screen (line is unmodified) |
Ctrl-T | Transpose previous character with current character |
Ctrl-H, BackSpace | Delete character before cursor |
Ctrl-W | Delete word leading up to cursor |
Ctrl-K | Delete from cursor to end of line |
