I need to create a lot of points with lots of attributes, but most of the fields are the same, so I don't want to edit all the fields all the time. Is there a "remember previous fields" function available?

I know of ways to address this in ArcGIS (feature templates, some editing tricks), but not QGIS. The quickest way I know would be to only edit the attributes that are different as you create them, then when you're done open the attribute table, select records that will share a value, and Field Calculate all those records to have the same value for that field. It's a bit more work than having it filled out, but at least you only have to type the value once.– Chris WCommented Apr 8, 2015 at 19:55

In QGIS, try Settings -> Options, Digitizing tab:
Feature creation
[x] Reuse last entered attribute values.
This works for newly created objects, but not if you fill in data of already existing objects.
Could you make use of the Quick Multi Attribute Edit plugin? You can create a number of points first, select a group of them, and bulk edit common attributes using the plugin.
If you are entering house number points please also try the house numbering qgis plugin:
