I click the inspector button in the tool bar, edit the fields, and close the inspector. But practically speaking, I almost never need to edit the fields in the inspector. The only things I regularly edit using the inspector are review intervals, which I update during my monthly system review, and repeat intervals, which I only edit when setting up a new repeating task/project. Everything else (apart from default context for projects) is available in the main interface with the appropriate columns turned on or by right-clicking.

I have a long standing request for an icon in the main view, akin to the parallel/sequential indicator and flags, that indicates repeating projects/actions. Clicking it would bring up a small pop-up for changing those settings.

I don't mind going to the inspector for setting review frequencies or for mass operations on multiple items. (It seems like mass operations would be harder to do with an in-line display of data.)
