Have you considered voice input via the MacOS built-in tools, or Nuance's Dragon 'whatever it is called on a Mac'.

I think I've already said that I find it much easier to enter metadata into the book list cells than into the single MDE dialogue boxes.

If I have to get data from web sites etc, I find it much easier to type/copy the fields into a text file that I display in my file manager's preview panel which I position under the main calibre window.

In general I find it easier to type (many columns have type ahead drop downs) rather than dodging between windows doing copy/pastes. That said, I use the book list metadata copy/paste a lot, usually from an existing book into a new book by the same author.
