[TxMt] Feature Request: Load/Unload Plugins while running TM

HI,

I don't know whether this is an issue for other users as well and  
whether it would be possible, but I'd like to have a built-in chance  
to enable or disable installed plugins (maybe integrated in TM's menu).

Background:
I often use Hetima's CJK-Input plugin for writing Japanese.
This plugin will be also invoked if I want to write German umlauts  
like ä because I use an US-keyboard and I have to type the key  
combination ALT+u plus a for inserting an ä. This behaviour is a bit  
annoying.
[I know that TM can display the key combination ALT+u or ALT+e not  
yet but still ... ;)]
Up to now I use a script to rename the plugin and restart TM.

Furthermore if more plugins will be developed in the future which  
maybe interact with others it would be nice to have such a chance to  
(un)load plugins while running TM.
On the other hand it would 'solve the problem' while developing a  
plugin to restart TM after building a new version of it. Just unload  
and load that plugin.

Or am I wrong?

Best,
Hans
