Those things I would always use as a function. Possibility is
great that I misunderstand you due to short description of what
you want.
(defun my-fancy-thing ()
(interactive)
(let* ((initial (completing-read "Comment: " '("1 ;;" "2 !!") nil t))
(comment (substring initial 2))
(lena 10)
(string (make-string lena (string-to-char (substring initial 2)))))
(insert (concat comment " " string))))
