do you use an app and shortcuts (or something similar) to speed this up?

On the phone I don't.

In Vim, I use multiple shortcuts that I made for this use case.

You can use vim via termux, which is nice when you already have things in version control.

Alternatively, may I suggest the DailyLog app in F-Droid?
