It's good to hear you've recovered from this!
As to the question as stated, Vim can do all that you've enumerated.
The downside (for a EMACS aficionado) is that it's modal, the upside is
that you only ever touch CTRL when in "edit" mode (for usual stuff like
C-w removing the word to the left of the cursor), and you're not
required to do that -- that is, you can always escape back to the
"normal" ("command" mode and perform all the same actions there).
Of course, all keys can be remapped (in all modes).
And macros can be made to make use of a dedicated "prefix" key, which
activates them.
Another downside is a steep learning curve.
