Description of the new feature/enhancement

Ctrl+F/X/N/P etc. work in the wt by default (like emacs keybindings). However, Ctrl+B didn't work, and there is no property which can set keybindings for cursor moving.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I'm not sure this feature can easily be implemented, for example, by modifying AppKeyBindingsSerialization.cpp, but I think there's many users familiar with emacs keybindings (including me).
