Back in the late '80s the government department I worked at had a dedicated data entry team with their own system (hardware and all).

The greenscreen data entry was highly optimised to not even require tabbing to different fields, but just run the values together in a large single field and the software would split them into fields and validate them.

I assume it was very fast and efficient for the experienced operators.
