  • Plugin Enable/Disable Functionality: Users can now enable or disable individual plugins through the settings interface
  • Persistent Plugin State: Plugin enable/disable states are saved and persist across application restarts
  • Visual Plugin Status: Clear visual indicators showing which plugins are enabled or disabled

🎯 Bang Commands

  • Quick Search Shortcuts: Added support for bang commands (e.g., !yt, !g, !gh) for quick access to popular websites
  • Predefined Bangs: Includes shortcuts for YouTube, Google, GitHub, Wikipedia, Amazon, IMDb, and more

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Improvements

Plugin System Enhancements

I am also thinking about moving bangs completely to settings to allow user to set their own bamgs
