I had the same need a couple of years ago. The script I wrote for the
purpose (and just updated for publicizing) does not work from inside an
editor but does interactively replace placeholders (format configurable) in
a text file with prompted-for values, optionally silently inserting already
"known" values on subsequent occurrences of the same placeholder. You can
also optionally preload a default key-value mapping from a YAML or JSON
file and/or save the collected/modified data to a YAML file.
