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. ## Schermafbeeldingen [⌊Type shift shift or click on the Navigator to search menus.⌉⌊Type shift shift or click on the Navigator to search menus.⌉[ Type shift shift or click on the Navigator to search menus.

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. ## Beoordelingen ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/36d892c31a4138965cec92d59646aa3ac291070b984f15c25aff5d20a1e275f4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Amazing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-4210/)󠁿 [govno](https://profiles.wordpress.org/govno/) 3 februari 2026 It’s a must have, unless you enjoy scrolling through countless side menu entries.
