Ask HN: OS X Snippets Manager with Gist support and keyboard shortcuts?

Can anybody recommend a good snippet manager for OSX?

My two killer features are:

* Easy keyboard shortcuts for quickly inserting snippets * Some way to backup and share snippets between my computers

I found two that are based around Github's Gist service, which would make backups/sharing very easy: * http://www.gistoapp.com/ * http://www.gistboxapp.com/ Gistbox is a online web-app, and Gisto is a pretty simple OSX app - however, neither seem to offer easy shortcuts for inserting snippets.

On the OSX native front, there's Dash, which has shortcuts for inserting - however, you can't use Gists as your backing store for snippets. (Although you could store your library file on Dropbox).

There are also quite a few other paid snippet managers for OSX, but I'm curious what people's experiences with them have been?

Do you have any personal favourites?
