Data entry into a family tree

Family trees seem designed to require more data entry points than are necessary leading to more key board movements and so slowing down the process building the tree. With a lot of data to enter one soon becomes tired af the time being taken to type in the data and for the program to process each piece of information. A family tree program should have one place of entry for Bths/Chr.Bap, another for Dth/Bur., and another for Mar/Div.. That's three blocks of activity against the present six and a reduction in waiting time between "saves"

It should not be nescessary to "Enter" each block of data separately and wait for the program to accept it. The slower a program accepts separated data the worse the problem. The fastest processors with programs requiring many points of data entry soon become tiresome.
