 * Hey guys,
 * I love your plugin! However, when adding a snippet, the current UI led me to 
   only save it, while I wanted to save and activate it.
 * I guess the reason is that the save button is the most left and emphasized with
   a blue color. I would suggest on replacing the buttons position and color.

 * There is a setting built in to make the exact change you’re describing – just
   check the ‘Activate by Default’ box on the Snippets > Settings menu.

 * Do you think that it would make sense to have this enabled by default?

 * Yeah.. I think it would..
 * Iv’e spent several minutes trying to understand what was wrong with a snippet
   Iv’e written, until I realized it wasn’t even activated.
 * I think it would also help if there would be some indication (maybe some text
   beneath the code) in the add/edit screen on whether the snippet is active or 
   not (currently you can only know that by looking at the button’s text).

 * It’s a good idea, I will have to think about how to best fit it in.
