Emacs keybindings in zsh not working (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-E)

Question

My Emacs keybindings in zsh are not working (CtrlA, CtrlE). I use zsh on OS X.

They might be bound to some other thing. I'm currently using oh-my-zsh.

And my .zshrc is over here.

A zero % accept rate is considered to be rather low. Can you accept some answers on your previous questions?
From the screenshot I gather you are on Mac OS X? I have the same problem there in terminal. Ctrl+A/E/K are already taken in that OS (for use in text fields in the GUI), which might explain this.
@Henno really? Im using zsh atm, and when i use bash, the ctrl+a(go to the first char of line) and ctrl+e(go to the end of the line) works fine. but when i use zsh, it goes like the screenshot. so i think its an problem about zsh, not the OS :(

I got the problem solved. Looks like oh-my-zsh was overriding the default keybindings.

When I added the below line at the end of my .zshrc, CtrlE and CtrlA worked:

bindkey -e
