Which documentation?  (So I can try to get the documentation fixed.)

readline(3) man page, chapter "EDITING COMMANDS", section "Killing and Yanking".
bash(1) man page, chapter "READLINE", section "Killing and Yanking".
mc(1) man page, chapter "Keys", section "Input Line Keys".
emacs info manual, chapter "Basic Editing Commands", section "Erasing Text".

Note that since several CLI-based programs use readline(3), they will all use
the same basic editing commands.
