The learning curve is no joke. 2 weeks is nothing. Don't get ambitious and treat it like your favorite editor just yet. Decide on a small task with complexity (and hence requires you to jump back and forth and rename stuff), like a 20-line script. Make plenty of use of the basic keystrokes (C-f forward, C-b backward, C-p prev line, C-n next line, C-s search, C-r reverse search). That's 6 combinations, and it's enough to witness the kind of speed you have in navigating the text. Then use it for a real editing job. Shouldn't take long before it becomes second nature. Then, it shouldn't take long before you wished that every text entry window used the same keystrokes. Oh yeah, type return to complete the search.
