So, I love anything spaced repetition and am addicted to Anki, but when it comes to productivity in your favorite editor, I feel the bigger problem is learning how to use various bits of functionality in a realistic setting and learning to see when you have a time saver at your disposal. Learning to automatically recognize "when in situation X, use Y with shortcut Z" rather than simply "Z is a shortcut for Y".

I agree, and the way I've been using shortcutfoo is, when I get a new command in my fingers that I think I'll really use, I immediately stop drilling on the website, hop over to vim and actually use it a few times. That's been a good combination for me.
