Another thing to think about.  It sounds like you are tagging lines 
after the fact.  If that's the case, consider record/playback.

Position the cursor to the first column of the line.
Edit->Keystroke Recorder->Start (or use the green icon in the toolbar)
Type the characters you wish to record.  Include the 'Home' key to move 
back to column 1, and the 'cursor down' key to move to the next line.
Edit->Keystroke Recorder->Stop (or use the red icon in the toolbar)
Now play back your recording.  I'd use the green arrow icon, but you can 
also Edit->Keystroke Recorder->Playback

Try doing multiple Playback operations in a row to see how they sort of 
chain together.  Undo (Ctrl-Z) works with this technique, so if you go 
too far you can always back up.
