Actually, yes, I want, because steps 4, 6 and 8 contain long lists hard to 
remember, and I want to guarantee exactly the inserted strings are one of the 
included in the lists.

In the original post, I said that I could manage with 2-3 keybindings that 
show, each, a list to choose and insert the entry, but I am not sure how to do 
it.

Do you mean I should generate all the combinations and assign a template to 
each one? Can you provide any kind of minimal example?
