Whoops I apologize, looks like it's only the console prompt! I get that Ctrl+V might be disabled for security reasons, but is there a config flag to enable it anyway?

And yeah for some reason Ctrl+Left/Right to jump around words, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to select words, and Ctrl+Backspace to delete a word, are disabled in the console prompt as well (they do seem to work in all the other DevTools input fields I can see). These are pretty ingrained in my muscle memory so I constantly bump into them.

Also I'm on Linux, in case that matters.

Interesting, sounds like you may want to file a bug report. I'm on Linux as well (Arch, Cinnamon) and all of those key combinations work for me.
That's curious, they do work fine on another machine running Xfce so apparently it's related to Gnome. Filed a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1591783, thanks!
