- `beforeEachCycle()`: Called once, at the beginning of each cycle of the main loop. This is similar to the old "loop hook" with its `post_clear` argument set to false. Takes no arguments, must return `kaleidoscope::EventHandlerResult::OK`.
- `onKeyswitchEvent`: Called for every non-idle key event. This replaces the old "event handler hook". It takes a key reference, a key address, and a key state. The key reference can be updated to change the key being processed, so that any plugin that processes it further, will see the updated key. Can return `kaleidoscope::EventHandlerResult::OK` to let other plugins process the event further, or `kaleidoscope::EventHandlerResult::EVENT_CONSUMED` to stop processing.
- `onFocusEvent`: Used to implement [bi-directional communication](#bidirectional-communication-for-plugins). This is called whenever the firmware receives a command from the host. The only argument is the command name. Can return `kaleidoscope::EventHandlerResult::OK` to let other plugins process the event further, or `kaleidoscope::EventHandlerResult::EVENT_CONSUMED` to stop processing.
- `onNameQuery`: Used by the [Focus](#bidirecional-communication-for-plugins) plugin, when replying to a `plugins` command. Should either send the plugin name, or not be implemented at all, if the host knowing about the plugin isn't important.
- `beforeReportingState`: Called without arguments, just before sending the keyboard and mouse reports to the host. Must return `kaleidoscope::EventHandlerResult::OK`.
- `afterEachCycle`: Called without arguments at the very end of each cycle. This is the replacement for the "loop hook" with its `post_clear` argument set.

Both of them take a variable number of arguments, of almost any type: all built-in types can be sent, `cRGB`, `Key` and `bool` too in addition. For colors, `.send()` will write them as an `R G B` sequence; `Key` objects will be sent as the raw 16-bit keycode; and `bool` will be sent as either the string `true`, or `false`.
### `.sendName(F("..."))`
To be used with the `onNameQuery()` hook, this sends the plugin name given,
followed by a newline, and returns `EventHandlerResult::OK`, so that
`onNameQuery()` hooks can be implemented in a single line with the help of this
function.
### `.read(variable)`
Depending on the type of the variable passed by reference, reads a 8 or 16-bit unsigned integer, a `Key`, or a `cRGB` color from the wire, into the variable passed as the argument.
