The QuickLogin plugin for self-hosted WordPress sites adds Squarespace-inspired detection of Escape key to login to the site. Just install the plugin, and pressing the “Escape” key while viewing your site will present the login panel if you’re not already logged in, returning you to the page you were viewing after login.
If you are already logged in, pressing the escape key serves as a convenient shortcut to access the wp-admin interface for your blog.
<h3>(Incomplete) Version History</h3>
1.0.2
QuickLogin will now interpret a press of the trigger key (ESC) when already logged in as implying that the user wants to jump directly to the admin panel.
Remove dependency on jQuery.

QuickLogin

Adds a keyboard shortcut to your blog for easily logging in.

Sometimes, you run into a situation where you just need to manually run a script. The actual logic might be as simple as generating a csv from a query, or changing a user’s settings, or even just running a single line of SQL. WordPress makes this difficult.
There are many hacky solutions to the problem, but most of them lack security or are too difficult for anyone but a developer to run or just take too long to build. That’s where we come in.
WP Utility Script Runner lets you start with a simple 17 line template, add in your custom code, save to the server, and in minutes you have a secure, fully featured utility, that you can safely run from the WordPress dashboard.
But that’s not all! With a few extra lines of code, your utility can:
<ul>
<li>Accept user input</li>
<li>Accept file input</li>
<li>Run at a future date and time</li>
<li>Run on a recurring schedule</li>
<li>Run large tasks by breaking them up into several smaller tasks, and saving state.</li>
<li>Create reports and other output files</li>
</ul>

WP Utility Script Runner

Create custom scripts and manage them directly from the WordPress Dashboard. Schedule scripts, handle user input, download reports, and more.
