Code snippet manager for Ubuntu?

  • 772

I'm looking for a good code snippet manager, with syntax highlighting and search capabilities. Another important feature is the capability of changing the code area background color. I have tested some Adobe Air apps that had white background everywhere, which hurts my eyes.

I'm using KDE btw. I use Kate for coding, but I don't like it's snippet plugin.

development kubuntu source-code

  1. If you're working in python, Acire is a good choice.

    acire

    First, you need to install the Python Snippets library

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:python-snippets-drivers/python-snippets-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-snippets

    Then you can install Acire itself:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:acire-team/acire-releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install acire

  3. You should try Code Barrel. It is cloud based so you can get your snippets anywhere. Oh, and it's free.

    I'm using Eclipse, which has a really nice snippet manager, with support for variables and drag-and-drop.

  5. This is old, but I thought i'd add: http://code.google.com/p/snippely/

    I hate AIR apps, but this one was an exception. It's well designed and works well.

  6. If you're still looking for a good snippet manager tool, may I recommend QSnipps. It's cross-platform, has syntax highlighting, supports database share across all your computers.. etc.

  7. For the benefit of others, try gistboxapp, this is an extension for Chrome. You can use this in any platform. It is very light.

  8. Use a post-it application, like TomBoy or GNote. It's light and nice and stays in the panel at the top.

  9. I would recommend Snip2Code - http://www.snip2code.com.

    It allows the user to collect, organize and share code snippets, from the web site as well as directly within the preferred IDE (Visual Studio, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Notepad++) or through the native apps for Windows8 and Mac OS X.

    Check it out!
