This cannot be changed by plug-ins. However, relation file type (i.e. extension) to tab can be changed on a per project type basis and can be amended on a per project basis (s. file type associations in the project menu).

I don't know LESS, so I don't know which lexer fits best. The association of file extensions to lexers can be changed via the config dialog. You can try the Pygments based lexers, if the QScintilla provided ones (Pygments are selected via the 'Alternatives' entry).
