The UI for entering Metadata has been designed to need as few key presses as possible to get to where you want.
Use the arrow keys to navigate the UI.
On the left you can select the song you want to edit. In front of the song title, it's track number is shown. Then go to the right and edit the song fields. If you want to quickly switch songs while staying in the same field you can use the PageUp and PageDown keys.
When you change the track number of a song, they will be reordered in the selectview to reflect that change. Use Shift+Up or Shift+Down to increase or decrease the track number for a song. Alternatively, use the number keys 1-9 to set it directly.
Under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/musicfetch or $HOME/.config/musicfetch you can find and place .toml files with configuration. default.toml is the default and is documented well. Look in there for a list of options and explainations.
