Usher brings Gmail-like keyboard shortcuts for navigating around the various core pages of the WordPress admin.
Additionally, it includes a robust API for registering new global and screen-specific keyboard shortcuts.
To register new shortcuts, use the Usher\register_shortcut() function. For example:
Add a shortcut for the EDD Dashboard
<pre><code>Usher\register_shortcut( 'g d', array(
 'label' => __( 'Navigate to the EDD dashboard', 'textdomain' ),
 'url' => 'edit.php?post_type=download',
 'cap' => 'manage_shop_settings'
) );
</code></pre>
Add a shortcut for the Jetpack Dashboard
<pre><code>Usher\register_shortcut( 'g j', array(
 'label' => __( 'Navigate to the Jetpack dashboard', 'textdomain' ),
 'url' => 'admin.php?page=jetpack',
 'cap' => 'manage_options',
) );
</code></pre>

Dashboard Shortcuts lets you create a personalized menu of links to any page in your dashboard: including posts, pages, settings, builders, theme dashboards, and more.
You can also add links to external resources, even outside your dashboard.
Use it as your bookmarks or favorites list to quickly access your most-used tools, documentation, or external resources, all from the admin bar.
Perfect for developers, site administrators, and content managers who want faster navigation to their frequently used pages.
The plugin is fully compatible with popular page builders (WPBakery, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, Brizy, Visual Composer, etc.) and will not render or load the shortcuts bar in builder/editor iframes, preventing conflicts and ensuring a clean editing experience.
