Far Manager 3.0 (the current stable branch) introduced a modernized plugin API with better Unicode support, 64-bit compatibility, and asynchronous operations. Old plugins from Far 1.x (16-bit era) no longer work, but almost all active plugins have been ported.

FarPlugins on GitHub: A collection of modern, community-maintained plugins including calculators and advanced file comparison tools.

Category 6: Productivity & Interface

| Plugin | Description | | :--- | :--- | | DrawLine | Draws ASCII/Unicode lines and boxes in the editor. Perfect for creating README tables or comment separators. | | SimpleIndent | Smart indentation (increase/decrease) for code blocks. Works with tabs or spaces. | | OpenViever | Allows you to define custom file associations for viewing. For example, automatically view .log files with syntax highlighting or render Markdown as HTML inside a viewer pane. | | MacroEditor | Far has a powerful macro system (recorded with Ctrl+Shift+.). This plugin gives you a proper editor for your macros, with syntax help and debugging. |
