CTR + u will delete the whole command. I use that a lot so I don't have to backspace. It's saved me a ton of time
And then ctrl+y to paste it back and recover that text.
I just use control C, is there a difference other than whether the line shows up or not?

How about ctrl+c to cancel and clear the command you are typing? It's much easier because you only need 1 hand, and does not impact your shell's history.
