I know I am responding late to this, but you don't say what OS your are using or even what text editor. I am guessing that you are using some sort of simple text editor like NotePad or Gedit.
My tip for quick data entry is to learn a Unix text editor such as Vi or Emacs (personally, I use Vi/Vim). There is a learning curve with Vi, but once you know what you are doing, entering/copying/manipulating text becomes lighting fast.
