About Blitzcrank
From the official readme · v1.0.0Description
If you are using WordPress’ admin-section in english keyboard-shortcuts some of the the top-level pages will be:
d a Dashboard
p o Posts
m e Media
p a Pages
c o Comments
? Help section
And so on.. It uses the first two letters of the label to create the keyboard shortcut. Which means the shortcuts will make sense regardless of language.
Known Issues
- Combo-collisions. Example: If
Settingsis open, the top-level menu-itemMediacollides withSettings -> Media. This will probably be solved with modifier keys.
Goals/Future
- Bring useful keyboard-shortcuts to wp-admin regardless of language.
- Bring useful keyboard-shortcuts to individual admin-screens.
