I had been thinking about binding to different keypresses, but using a
selection window is an interesting thought.

Combining the two approaches might work out well.  Keypresses could be
bound to certain frequently-used templates, but a different keypress
would present the user with a choice of REM lines corresponding to all
available templates.

Yes, that's probably a good idea.
