So if you're trying to prioritize what to learn/change, you might be better off building your testing speed/skills than learning a new editor. If those are all in place, then by all means look for a better IDE/editor.
I've used various IDEs & editors, and the "productivity" isn't a product of keybindings, but rather a of features that let you think and act over bigger "chunks" of code.
I love IntelliJ's refactoring functions (extract function, extract parent class, create/goto test, etc.), and I love that IntelliJ (and WebStorm) let me rebind keys, or just hit Shift-Cmd-A and type the name of the command I want to invoke.
So, I totally agree that good key bindings are important. But you'll get more of a productivity boost by delegating more work to your tools, and having fast ways to accomplish that delegation. Pick your IDE/editor for the features, then configure the keybindings to suit you.
