Taking http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/10/unity-launcher-clipboard-snippets-item as a skeleton I've adapted quicksnips for my needs.
wget https://github.com/kepkin/unity-snippet-tool/archive/master.zip -O unity-snippet-tool.zip &&
unzip unity-snippet-tool.zip &&
mv unity-snippet-tool-master $HOME/.quicksnips
$HOME/.quicksnips/quicksnips.sh
Open ~/.quicksnips/snips.yaml and edit it following examples.
