Howdy,

I was just getting ready to report the same when I found your email. In my case though, orca moving through 
the tabs is very sluggish. Also, when I close prefs by pressing escape, I have to restart orca to get 
speech back.

It seems I can still change things, but there is a bit of a regression here.

Thanks,
Storm

Hey chrys.

I did a quick test and found that when I access the orca preferences screen and change pages by pressing 
left arrow, right arrow or ctrl+pageup/down, orca doesn't announce the name of the new page
.
Thanks.

Howdy List,

A small update of my current work on an plugin system based orca.

- i merged in all of Joanies work from master (till 1:00 PM UTC June 17 2021). So the plugin system 
branch is on pair with orca master.

- i created an SignalManager. This component is, like the name says, used for register and emit signals 
or check for its existence. So we can define a set of signals what plugins can connect to or plugins can 
register and emit signals by there own.
- dynamic API manager: well sounds mystic, but the idea behind is that plugins can register own API, 
objects, functions, variables and all kind of that. So others can consume those and/ or  extend its 
functionality based on it

Both objects live in our shiny new orca class.  The orca class should hold all basic components and all 
needed API, as goal, all orca code should in an roof or main class. So we can easy share its API with 
plugins or let them extend it.
I also placed the scriptmanager-, eventmanager-, settings manager classes there (also if they should be 
reworked to fit better in shape) and the plugin system manager. So the way to use ocas API will just 
happen starting from that class containing all API, settings and states.

- i just started implementing an very basic plugin manager. But this is not useable yet. I will inform as 
soon as it is ready for testing.

- i also started with an base class for orca plugins, but here i have some trouble with get mixed plugin 
objects in libpeas ( they all register just fine, but deregister all as clipboard plugin. Not sure what 
mix it up, but i will figure anytime lol)

- we already have some early adopters for testing to warranty we don't break anything. Thanks to Patrick 
and storm here for much needed testing!
Current goal is just to bring an basic plugin structure in without break anything. No new settings, no 
real new functionality. All should just work as it is.

Cheers chrys
