Copy a Tag pair from Source to Target several hundred times ?

I'm processing this kind of segment.
Already finished 30 of them and still have lots of them too.

 Screenshot of Trados Studio segment with source and target text. Source contains tags surrounding the word 'Enter'. Target is missing the corresponding tags.
TU is given like above.
What I have to do is copy a Tag from Source to Target, because both of them are exactly same except a Tag pair.

My process;

1. Move to source (I used only keyboard because mouse can not handle it accurately.)
2. Move to proper spot (It starts from the beginning always.)
3. Select and Copy a left Tag
4. Move to Target
5. Move to proper spot
6. Paste it
7. Move to source
8. Move to proper spot
9. Select and Copy a right Tag
10. Move to target
11. Move to proper spot
12. Paste it

This is too painful. 

Good Tips please.

(In this screenshot text between Tags is simple one word 'Enter' and do not need to translate, but others consist of much longer than this and translated at target side already, so If I copy a Tag pairs in one go at source side, I have to translate it again at target needlessly or it make my steps more difficult to do.)
