How important is this feature to you?
1 (Not too important)
Objection. This is closer to "can't work without it" for a lot of people. When you are used to these shortcuts working across all common terminals it really becomes an obstacle for adopting one that doesn't have them. For me personally the most important ones are those for jumping/deleting words.

Describe the solution you'd like?
Playing around, I enabled the Emacs bindings, which are still incomplete. M-b and M-f still don't do what I expected (move backward and forward by words).
All terminals use readline to support this. It gives the Emacs bindings and VI-Style bindings optional.
So instead of asking for "completing the Emacs bindings", I think the wise thing to do is to fully support readline.
This is the default Emacs and VI binding for terminals Unix users are used to, extracted from
man readline
