Adding to what Richard suggests, if you only want your special fields to appear, you can make a tiddler with $:/tags/ViewTemplate and populate it with:
\define allmine(field) <$list filter="[all[current]has[$field$]]"> $field$: <$edit-text tag="input" field="$field$"/> </$list> \end <<allmine myfield>><br/> <<allmine myfield2>> Then just add as many <<allmine>> macros as special fields you have. You can type right into these without the focus problem.
