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.
