Code snippet manager for Ubuntu?

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.

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

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

instead of kate i recommend you Gvim and the SnipMate plugin, it's highly customizable, and really easy to use. Greetings

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.
