Keybinding problem in zsh Home/End [Solved but dunno why]

Question

According to the wiki, I need only add the following to my ~/.zshrc to get my Home/End keys to work properly but I am need seeing the desired effect.
Currently:
[Home] = H
[End] = F
What am I doing wrong?
$ cat ~/.zshrc
[[ -z "$PS1" ]] && return
[[ -f /etc/profile ]] && . /etc/profile
for i in functions aliases zsh ; do [[ -f $HOME/.$i ]] && . $HOME/.$i ; done
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
autoload -U compinit
compinit -i
PROMPT='%(!.%{$fg_bold[red]%}.%{$fg_bold[white]%}%n@)%m %{$fg_bold[blue]%}%(!.%1~.%~) %#%{$reset_color%} '
TERM=xterm-256color
bindkey -v # set vim bindings
bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line # Home
bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line # End
bindkey "\e[5~" beginning-of-history # PageUp
bindkey "\e[6~" end-of-history # PageDown
bindkey "\e[2~" quoted-insert # Ins
bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char # Del
bindkey "\e[A" history-beginning-search-backward
bindkey "\e[B" history-beginning-search-forward

Answer 1

I still do not understand why, but the following code in my ~/.zshrc fixes this problem so I guess this thread is [solved].
... I have much to learn about zsh.
# http://zshwiki.org/home/zle/bindkeys
typeset -A key
key[Home]=${terminfo[khome]}
key[End]=${terminfo[kend]}
key[Insert]=${terminfo[kich1]}
key[Delete]=${terminfo[kdch1]}
key[Up]=${terminfo[kcuu1]}
key[Down]=${terminfo[kcud1]}
key[Left]=${terminfo[kcub1]}
key[Right]=${terminfo[kcuf1]}
key[PageUp]=${terminfo[kpp]}
key[PageDown]=${terminfo[knp]}
# setup key accordingly
[[ -n "${key[Home]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Home]}" beginning-of-line
[[ -n "${key[End]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[End]}" end-of-line
[[ -n "${key[Insert]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Insert]}" overwrite-mode
[[ -n "${key[Delete]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Delete]}" delete-char
[[ -n "${key[Up]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Up]}" history-beginning-search-backward
[[ -n "${key[Down]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Down]}" history-beginning-search-forward
[[ -n "${key[Left]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Left]}" backward-char
[[ -n "${key[Right]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Right]}" forward-char
# Finally, make sure the terminal is in application mode, when zle is
# active. Only then are the values from $terminfo valid.
function zle-line-init () {
echoti smkx
function zle-line-finish () {
echoti rmkx
zle -N zle-line-init
zle -N zle-line-finish
bindkey "\e[A" history-beginning-search-backward
bindkey "\e[B" history-beginning-search-forward
