Maybe. :-)
They were certainly the ticket for me.

Someone else is probably better suited to address your original post.
As far as additional thoughts, I was only thinking about keystroke
savings:
1) You can set priorities in agenda view by typing a comma and
choosing priority. You can set them anywhere with =C-c ,=. Or, you can
simply type them, =[#A]=.
2) Say you type them. That's four keystrokes. You could use =%?= in a
template to past the cursor within the priority cookie, like =[#%?]=.
But then you need two keystrokes to get out.
3) Whether 2) saves more time than 1) isn't clear to me, but might fit
your case until/if/when priorities are added to templates.
Hope this helps,
Jeff
