This will require a new syntax highlighting file (I will try to create 
one).

This is the biggest problem. The editor widget is embedded to a dialog, 
and not into the mainwindow. This is somewhat unusual usage of a kpart, 
as for example you cannot access the main menu while the dialog is 
shown. Also the fact that Kommander does not use the KDE XMLGUI to 
build its user interface makes merging of a part and the main 
application interface rather hard, if not impossible. The best I may 
try to do is to make a stripped down configuration dialog for the 
editor.

Same here.

This should be possible to do.

It is possible, but of course have to be re-implemented, due to the 
limitations in 2). But i shouldn't be hard.
