When editing ID3 tag information on your media in iTunes, there’s a plethora of options, divided into many pages of the "Get Info" window, which can be accessed by selecting the track or tracks you want to edit and pressing Command-I.
To make navigating this window easier, use Command-the number keys to select the tab you wish to work with. For example, Command-1 opens the "Summary" tab, Command-2 opens the "Info" tab, and so on. Focus will automatically be placed on the first field of the selected tab.
This tip also works in the window to edit information for multiple tracks, as well as the iTunes Preferences window.
Happy editing!
