VIM is the way to go. While its a bear to learn, once you get the basic keyboard shortcuts down, it cant be beat, and you'll wonder how you ever used any other text editor.

VIM was designed from the ground up so that you NEVER have to move your hands from the homerow keys. It speeds up your editing time considerably. I would search around for some example .vimrc files (vim config files). Many people post them online, and you can grab bits and peices of all the different files that provide the behavior you want.

Its amazing to watch a vim guru write code, or edit a file... its almost like an art form:P
