I suppose that’s how the QE stuff will work as well with editable areas... no?

Question...
What do you call a block of code that’s used to perform some background work? 1) A widget or 2) A Plugin
My reason for asking this is due to the fact that I’ve always refer to Widgets as tools that render a display and plugins as tools that don’t always render a display
Should we really merge Widgets and Plugins?

I think so. To me a widget is just something that performs a specific function. Whether or not it outputs to the screen is not a distinction to me.
You can further describe how they function possibly as "background widgets" and "output widgets". Does that make sense?
