Using a Plugin Manager (Recommended)

Plug 'Nextron-Labs/thor-syntax-highlighting'

Then restart Vim and run :PlugInstall.

To update after changes:

:PlugUpdate

lazy.nvim (Neovim)

Add this to your plugin list in ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins.lua (or equivalent):

{ "Nextron-Labs/thor-syntax-highlighting" }

Then restart Vim and run :PluginInstall.

Manual Installation

Copy the files to your Vim runtime directory:

# Vim
mkdir -p ~/.vim/syntax ~/.vim/ftdetect
cp vim/syntax/thorlog.vim ~/.vim/syntax/
cp vim/ftdetect/thorlog.vim ~/.vim/ftdetect/

# Neovim
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/syntax ~/.config/nvim/ftdetect
cp vim/syntax/thorlog.vim ~/.config/nvim/syntax/
cp vim/ftdetect/thorlog.vim ~/.config/nvim/ftdetect/

File Association

The filetype detection automatically activates for:

• Files with extensions .thor.log or .thor.txt
• Files matching *_thor_* or *_THOR_* patterns (e.g. ion.local_thor_2026-01-21_1914.txt)
• Any .log or .txt file whose first 20 lines contain THOR: or THOR_UTIL: followed by a log level

To force the syntax on any file:

:set filetype=thorlog
