Pine Tree Host

DashLinx adds a simple, unobtrusive widget to the WordPress admin dashboard that allows administrators to store up to five frequently used links for quick access.
Links can be added by: 
* Selecting existing Pages, Posts, or any public post type via autocomplete 
* Pasting a full URL (external or internal)
When a raw URL is added, DashLinx attempts to retrieve the page title automatically.

DashLinx – Admin Dashboard Links Widget

The Quick-Launch Dashboard Dock adds a persistent, space-efficient panel to the bottom of your WordPress admin screen. Instead of digging through nested menus or memorising URLs, you pin the pages you visit most — settings screens, post types, tools, or external links — and access them with a single click.
How it works
Once activated, a slim dock appears at the bottom of every admin page. Click the toggle bar to expand or collapse it — the dock stays in your preferred state across page loads. Click any pinned item to navigate instantly. The currently active page is highlighted in blue so you always know where you are. Press <code>Ctrl+K</code> (Windows) or <code>Cmd+K</code> (Mac) to open the search overlay, type to filter, and use arrow keys plus Enter to jump directly to a bookmark.
Key features
<ul>
<li>One-click pinning — Click the “Pin Page” button in the WordPress Admin Bar to save the current screen with its title and URL.</li>
<li>Custom / external links — Right-click any blank area in the dock and choose “Add custom link” to bookmark any URL with a custom title. All links open in a new tab.</li>
<li>Duplicate prevention — Pinning a page that is already in your dock shows an “Already pinned!” alert. No duplicate bookmarks.</li>
<li>Right-click to remove — Right-click any bookmark in the dock and choose “Remove bookmark” to delete it instantly.</li>
<li>Active page highlight — The bookmark matching your current admin page is highlighted with a blue border so you can see at a glance where you are.</li>
<li>Search overlay — Press <code>Ctrl+K</code> / <code>Cmd+K</code> to open a keyboard-navigable search modal. Filter as you type and hit Enter to go.</li>
<li>Collapsible — Toggle the dock open or closed. Your preference is remembered across page loads via localStorage.</li>
<li>Zero bloat — jQuery is used only for the pin and delete interactions (already loaded by WordPress); the rest is vanilla JavaScript. The dock stays out of your way until you need it.</li>
<li>User-specific — Each user’s bookmarks are stored in their own user meta. No shared state, no database overhead.</li>
<li>Fully translatable — All static text uses <code>esc_html__()</code> with a proper text domain.</li>
</ul>
