I have good news - many are already implemented, including both of your 
examples:

bind --preset \cf forward-char

bind --preset \ef forward-word

I wonder if you are in Vi mode instead of the default, Emacs-compatible 
mode. Running `fish_default_key_bindings` will put your shell into the 
default mode, or there is `fish_hybrid_key_bindings` for a mixture of 
both (essentially the union of the two, with Vi bindings taking 
preference).
