IIRC setenv is shell-specific (C, not Bash?) and may not be available anyway.

Can run in external shell (prepend '>'). However I guess that anything set for 
such shell will not be available after it finishes. I haven't looked into this, 
or whether it's possible to pass any or all environment from 'child' to 
'parent' shell. I suppose that the alternative would be a new 'internal 
command', 'set'.

If you mean that internal variables are not known to an external shell, then 
that's to be expected.

Keybindings apply to actions or commands only. To convert a keypress, there 
would need to be a new action to do that. 

I'm afraid I can't think why you'd bother to bind a key to a different one. 
Especially when modifier(s) Ctrl etc may be involved.
