Actually you might want to form groups instead, and have the snippets  
in there, so that they are still visible when you navigate the menu.

On this note, you might want to consider whether perhaps you could  
turn (some of) these several hundred snippets into one single  
command, that reads the selection or current word and acts  
accordingly. I find it extremely inefficient to have many snippets,  
especially if they do similar things. Suppose you decide that you  
want each of them to have an extra newline at the end or something.  
If they are all encapsulated inside a command, you'll just have to  
change the command. Otherwise, you have to change each of these  
snippets individually, quite a pain if there are really several  
hundred of them.
