I am by no means an experienced emacs user (but I know what it is. :)
Emacs style key bindings are VERY common, however.

Cursor movement usually goes along the lines of CTRL-P for previous line,
CTRL-N for next line, CTRL-B to move cursor backwards, and CTRL-F to move
cursor forwards.

Try CTRL-N and CTRL-P. :)

This is how I use Bash on terminals with broken cursor key emulations, and
without resorting to VI mode. (yuk :)
