## Description

In modern operating systems you can press a Start or Spotlight key, type a few letters
of the operation you need, and choose it. There’s no need to waste time clicking
around in the menus looking for your command. This plugin gives you the same capability
for WordPress’s dashboard and its features.

The plugin places a search box at the top of the menu at the top left of WordPress’s
dashboard. (That menu is at the top right if you use a right-to-left language such
as Rohingya or Arabic.) Click in that menu and type a few letters. You’ll see a 
drop-down list of matching commands. Use arrow keys to select the command you want,
and press Enter or Tab.

You can press Shift twice rapidly instead of clicking in the search box. So, for
example, to go to your orders in your WooCommerce store, type this.

**Shift** **Shift** **o** **r** **d** **e** **r** **s** **Enter**

Tnat’s it.

How does this plugin work? It is lightweight. It sends its small JavaScript file
to your browser for every dashboard page. That JavaScript analyzes the WordPress
menus and prepares the dropdown list.

#### Credits

Props to [herchen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/herchen/) for his [Admin Menu Search](https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-search/)
plugin. This is, I hope, worthwhile improvement on it.

## Installation

The usual way.

## FAQ

### Will this plugin slow down my site for my users?

**No.** It does nothing on your site’s front-end pages. And, for your dashboard 
users it adds one small Javascript file.

### Does this work for languages rendered right-to-left as well as left-to-right?

**Yes.**

### What if some of my registered users don’t want it?

Each user can enable or disable it in their user profile.

### Does it present any security problems?

**No.** It works entirely in each user’s browser with the menus WordPress sends 
to the browser.

### I publish my own plugin. Can I put my plugin’s commands into the dropdown list ?

Yes. The dropdown list includes the top-level menus and submenus created by your
plugin and other plugins.

It’s a must have, unless you enjoy scrolling through countless side menu entries.
Just go ahead and install it.

Just discovered this plugin on Reddit and installed on a client site that has a 
large amount of plugins that they insist on keeping. This has made getting around
their stupidly long dashboard menu way way easier
