Continuing the discussion from Need Detailed Instructions for Creating Templates with Placeholders:
Please revise picker placeholders to support user-defined pick lists.
REF:
OK, so I’m asking. I think if more users knew that users could define their own placeholders, then this would be a hot idea. 
I use Text Item Delimiters a lot, commas, spaces, returns, tabs, mostly, but it could be anything, I think a user designed picker that would allow a pop-up to select from a list of TID options would be just fine. (It would clear about half a dozen items from my clippings list)
Here’s a couple more. Similar to typing ta & return for tell application popup:
us & return to get a popup of all available library scripts
uf & return to get a popup of all available foundations
(both would presumably add “use scripting additions”
OK, but those are all easily done now with text substitutions.
I think this feature would be great. So I’m asking too.
