Variables are useful. 😁 You can also check out Klaus Daube's ETB Insert Symbols plugin ( https://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker81.html), which is a subset of his Extended Toolbars, that allows you to create a list of special characters for insertion (3 clicks, ish), or you can also try Silicon Prairie's Autotext Plugin, which lets you set up all sorts of boilerplate inserts ( https://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Downloads.html). Klaus' plugin is free, but you can pay him. Silicon Prairie is shareware, but it will nag you to buy it. At $10, it's cheap for its utility.
