Change keyboard shortcuts to emacs mode

I am used to having emacs keybindings in matlab running in windows (e.g, ctrl-a goes to start of line, ctrl-e to end of line, ...). Using the matlab-vscode extension, I have the default keymappings (ctrl-a selects all). In the normal Matlab window, I can change this in the "keyboard shortcuts preferences" (e-macs default set with a couple of tweaks).

It would be nice to be able to change the keymap, e.g., by manually reading an xml file. I have tried changing it from the matlab terminal, using an undocumented feature:
com.mathworks.services.Prefs.setStringPref('CurrentKeyBindingSet', 'Emacs')
But that didn't work.

What would be cool is to start the matlab terminal in a cmder terminal (https://cmder.app/), which has these keybindings.

Start by reviewing how the extension defines keyboard shortcuts and launches the MATLAB terminal; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare the requested Emacs-style behavior with VS Code's keybinding mechanisms and the mentioned MATLAB preferences and cmder alternatives. Done would mean users can select or configure Emacs-like shortcuts in the extension and verify the key behaviors.
