A very low priority ticket :)
Coming from here: https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/88/#1f9f

Is it better to put a note on the CC options in the "general settings", to point out that they are language-agnostic, or to move everything in the CC-specific panels/tabs provided by the plugin? Or something else.

Also, when the plugin is not loaded, all the options that are still visible (like those in the general settings) should be disabled.

    The reason is that this "CC general setting" is for all kinds of codecompletion plugin, we have c/c++ code completion plugin, python code completion plugin, fortran code completion plugin. So the only method I see is that if no cc plugins are active, we need to make those general setting "no visiable".

      I know that, you already said it in the other ticket I linked ;)
      I created this one as a reminder, as you requested :)

      Anyway, I think that if the CC general settings are not in their own tab (like they are now), perhaps it's better to gray them out rather than make them invisible, because users who decide to use the plugin where they didn't before, are not expecting those settings to "appear", because they are not used to see them there. If instead the settings are in their own tab, it's more expectable to have a new tab appear for the newly loaded plugin.
