O.P. Plugin API feature request
Just thought of a small feature which might be nice for plugins; the ability to have a generic "Configuration" option...

Currently most plugins with configuration options use a command to show a dialog. Problem is, until the plugin closes the dialog the command will remain in the input box of the active conversation. This means the person on the other side will see the "X is typing a message" the whole time... kind of defeats it's purpose...

If the plugin API was extended with a Configure function, that could be used instead. This could be triggered using a default "Configure" menu option added to the Plus! plugins menu above the normal commands/tags, if present of course.


The benefits? No command, no "is typing" message, a common way of configuring plugins and it encourages plugin developers to add such a dialog...
