Xcode code snippets are great, and while it’s easy to add your own code snippets there’s no easy way to modify the included snippets.
Here’s a free tool from Cocoaholic called Snippet Editor that allows you to safely edit your Xcode code snippets called Snippet Edit.
Snippet Edit provides a simple interface allowing you to modify the code within Xcode’s Code Snippets library, and modify the code as you wish with the capability to revert back to your original Xcode Snippets should you decide to.
You can also turn off any specific snippets that may be bothering you so that they no longer will show up in the code completion selection menu.
Here’s an image from the interface showing the Snippet Edit in action:

You can find Snippet Edit on the homepage here.
A nice simple way to personalize Xcode’s built in code snippets.
