- Overview of plugin capabilites
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The FAR manager is so tightly integrated with its plugins that it is
- simply meaningless to talk about FAR and not to mention the plugins. Plugins
- present an almost limitless expansion of the features of FAR.
-
- Without going into details, some of the capabililities can be noted:
-
- * syntax highlighting in program source texts.
- * working with FTP-servers (including access through proxy).
- * search and replace in many files at the same time, using regular
- expressions.
- * renaming groups of files with support for complex compound masks
- consisting of substitution symbols and templates.
- * NNTP/SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 clients and sending messages to a pager.
- * working with non-standard text screen resolutions.
- * conversion of texts from one national code page to another.
- * manipulating the contents of the Recycle Bin.
- * Process priority control on local or network PC.
- * Words autocomplete in editor and working with templates.
- * Windows system registry editing.
- * Creating and modifying Windows shortcuts.
- * File and text operations making it more comfortable to use FidoNet.
- * Files UU-encode and UU-decode.
- * WinAmp control and MP3-tags modifying.
- * Quake PAK-files processing.
- * Printers control, both connected to PC and network.
- * Connection and debugging of queries to ODBC-compatible
- databases.
- * RAS service control.
- * External programs executing (compilers, convertors etc.) while
- editing text in FAR editor.
- * Windows help files contents displaying (.hlp and .chm)
- * Calculators with different possibilities.
- * Several games :-)
- * Spell checker functions while editing text in FAR editor.
- * Removable drives catalog preparation and much more...
-
- It is useless to list all the functions provided by FAR and its plugins,
- because this list is constantly growing. As an information source, which can
- be used to search for specific plugins, one can recommend:
