That's only going to change the default editor (for programs that check that
variable). It won't affect the shell keybindings, or keybindings in other
apps.

For bash, try "set -o emacs". Other programs will be different; for GNOME,
try going to Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, and set "Text Editing
Shortcuts" to "Emacs".
