ook, but this gives a couple of problems
Only giving possibility of enabling and disabling categories, altough it kinda makes sense, makes it hard to respect the runner metadata on wether the plugin should be loaded by default or not. This is important because internet accessing runners should always be disabled by default. they may be all forced in one same category and have that disabled by default, but would be hard to enforce and for sure i still need distiction (i want to enable wikipedia, not amazon;)

The second issue is for configuration of individual runners: some runners expose a configuration ui, and I don't want to lose that option: some configs are maybe less necessary (mostly are trigger words) some look very sensible and i want to keep them, like the media player control one.

one solution may be to show the config button in the category if there is only plugin in the category and that plugin offers a configuration ui.
It still doesn't cover the case of categories with more plugins, but better than nothing
