Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

The documentation states that default plugins can be set as boolean options. After experimenting it seems they can be set in ~/.config/micro/settings.json but not from the command line. Perhaps they should work in both or, if the current behaviour is intended, it could be more clearly described in the documentation.

Research direction

Start by comparing how boolean default-plugin options are handled from the command line with their handling in ~/.config/micro/settings.json, using the options documentation linked in the issue as the expected behavior. Done means default plugins can be disabled from the command line, or the documentation clearly states that this is intentionally unsupported.
