How to implement a Web UI feature to insert default scentences in an textarea


We are talking about implementing a system that easily generates sales reports for our salesemployees. We want to create a webapplication with one or maybe more textarea's to gather the inputdata from the employee.


There are a few scentences that will return time and time again. Something like: "customer xyz decided to buy the products advised by consultant abc"


What options do I have to implement a feature like that. What I allready thought of:



  • Click RMB in textarea to pop the scentences or categories of scentences which can be selected. Feels a bit outdated to me.

  • Shortcuts, like an IDE. When I type psvm[tab] I get "public static void main...". Probably to technical for most users.

  • Present a box with scentences next to the text area from which you can drag and drop the scentences. This will take up a lot of real estate.

  • When the system recognizes the start of a scentence that is in the default scentences it pops the sentence and can be clicked (something like the tag functionality here on SE). This will give a lot of false true's which might be anoying for the user.


I understand that there is not a single right answer to this question. Please post answers preferably with an example (of some other site)
