No. Far Manager is a Windows-based file manager similar to Midnight Commander (MC is available on Linux-based systems, including Cygwin). Both of those file managers have plug-ins available to them that allow use of the Colorer library, but rather than being used for syntax highlighting, the library is used to distinguish file types, directory types, etc.

Really looking forward to this.

I originally put together an Eclipse syntax highlighter using jEdit's format for use with another Eclipse plug-in. However, I realized early on I didn't really like the editor provided by the plug-in for one reason or another, so I switched to Colorer-Take5's plug-in. Colorer-Take5 is more complex to write syntax code for, but it is more flexible and customizable. The Colorer-Take5 plug-in does not provide a GUI for changing colors, so it is also more difficult to explain how to use, thus another reason for my delay in posting it: I'll have to do an instructional write-up explaining how to use it.

In the meantime, since you would prefer not to use Eclipse anyway, I'll post the jEdit-format file, which surprise, can be used with jEdit. It's not my editor of choice (I generally don't like JAVA apps, Eclipse excepted), but it might work for you.

Give it a try if you haven't already (download is ~3MB), and I'll post the Proxo syntax highlighter for it later today or tonight**. It may have some warts because, as I said, I don't use it, nor do I intend to use it. I'll clean it up a little, though.
