Is there a autoload option on manifest?

Right now, plugins are always persistent, so you wouldn’t even need to open the panel for your listeners to work. I just tested this again by adding a console log to an event callback - it does the log even if the panel is closed / not visible.
However, this might change in the future, quoting Kerri:

One thing I want to hone in on as well — don’t assume that your plugin will always be active in the current Ps context. It is currently , but may not be in the future should Ps decide to be more strict about memory management and the like. For example, once you have the other lifecycle methods that you can use, you may want to reload your settings on plugin#create . But you can’t do that just yet – just letting you know for the future.
