There's got to be one somewhere. I mean, other than a text editor, other than web-based, and other than something I have to pay for.

I'm not 100% sure but maybe wxCRP wil fit your needs.
I don't know if it is available for Linux but for Windows it is 100% free

You know, I like wxCRP, and it is available for Linux too, and one time I downloaded the Windows version and tried to use some of its powerful features, but it seemed kind of "heavy" for just impulsively storing the small snippets I have in mind. As far as I can tell, every snippet in wxCRP has to be in a separate file. If I am going to do that, I may as well just let the file system be the snippet repository. Or maybe I'm missing something obvious, Jorg?T-Rex wrote:I'm not 100% sure but maybe wxCRP wil fit your needs.

I also want something with more interaction with "the clipboard," although in Linux, it seems like you have to ask "which clipboard?"

Maybe TiddlyWiki (http://www.tiddlywiki.com) is the best thing to use for my purposes. Basically you download a self-editing HTML file. You create notes (which could be code snippets -- there is some trick* to keep them from being parsed for markup syntax) and somehow these are magically saved back into the HTML file, which is typically saved onto a USB drive. Since it is just HTML and javascript, that would tend to be cross platform. Extremely clever, in my opinion.
This kind of contradicts what I said about the clipboard and other things, but I guess I just had to talk myself through the answer
*UPDATED SOON AFTER POSTING
The trick to keep the snippets from being parsed for markup, I found again, is to precede the snippet with {{{ and to follow it with }}}. TiddlyWiki uses that for literals.

There is also Moin Moin desktop wiki, and WikiPad (written in wxPython) and ZuluPad announced here.
I am also in the process of making my own desktop wiki app because the other apps always seem to lack features such as;
- Store attachments in the DB
- Better TODO management
- Labels on pages
- Proper renaming of wiki pages (without having to manually rename all relations)
- Sub pages
- Auto HTML publish of edited pages
- etc
At work I use Moin Moin desktop wiki with Firefox, but ultimately I would like to create a desktop stand alone version. If I ever succeed, who knows. I am going to try wxPython for a change, my first trial apps were looking good
