General steps for creating How to create a dropdown of shortcodes in edit mode for posts

I plan on using multiple shortcodes for various reasons throughout WordPress.

(i.e.)

  • A Vimeo embed (with a shortcut parameter to input the actual video URL)
  • A 'Contact Us' element block that can be attached to various posts
  • A responsive jQuery photo slider (with parameters for photos by name)
  • A css3 button that links to a third party donate site.
  • etc..

I want all these options to be available to the non-technical user (the WordPress editor) when they are writing stories.

Within SharePoint 2013, there is a drop-down option for 'Reusable Content'. When you click it, it shows a drop-down of reusable items that you can place into your content editor. This is what I am accustomed to working with.

My Questions:

  • What is the most efficient way for WordPress editors to see these shortcode options while they are using the HTML editor and choosing anyone to drop into the HTML editor?
  • Is it something I can easily build in WordPress 4.6.2 for them?
  • Can I leverageIf possible, what in the power of hooks to add this featureWordPress API should I concentrate on, to do the edit post pagebuild?
  • Are there any system hacks involved with setting something like this up?
  • Is this request going outside the box of how WordPress can operate?

Thanks!
