It’s pretty nice and quick with only one character.

Discoverability is nice to have, but it’s a secondary issue.

It doesn’t seem to offer a way to distinguish between a single "a" and
"ab".

(org-mks '(("a" "a.. templates")
           ("a" "export ascii" "")
           ("ab" "abstract" "")
           ("l" "latex" ""))
         "Select a template"
         "Template key: "
         '(("q" "Abort")))

Perhaps the best way would be to automatically reserve upper case letters
for blocks with keys longer than one character, although that seems a bit
arbitrary.

(org-mks '(("A" "a.. templates")
           ("a" "export ascii" "")
           ("Ab" "abstract" "")
           ("l" "latex" ""))
         "Select a template"
         "Template key: "
         '(("q" "Abort")))
