Splunk Search

Search Syntax Highlighting?

Hi,
As my search strings get more and more ridiculous, I find myself writing them in sublimetext or notepad++ or vim as a cribsheet and then putting the final product into Splunk. Does anyone know of a plugin for Splunk search syntax highlighting for any of those 3 editors?

(yes, I realize I'm being lazy. Python syntax works pretty well, but it'd be nicer if someone else already wrote a Splunk search-specific one.)

I've just posted a VIM syntax highlighter: check it out.
