## Description

The Admin Command Palette (ACP) is a modal window in the WordPress Admin that live
searches admin content, which saves you many clicks and page loads. You can:

 * Search for and navigate to user-generated content (Posts, Pages, Users, etc.).
 * Search for and navigate to WordPress Admin Pages (All Posts, Add New Post, etc.).
 * Perform WordPress Admin actions via the ACP or a keyboard shortcut (Publish, 
   Add Media, View Post, etc.).

This plugin brings about a new level of efficiency to WordPress admin user interactions:
it’s like the difference between going over a mountain via a pass, versus going 
through a mountain via a tunnel. The tunnel is always more direct, more efficient,
and more straightforward than the pass.

  Settings

You can customize the plugin settings on the Admin Command Palette settings page
in the WordPress Admin. (_Settings -> Admin Command Palette_)

 * **Threshold** (_Default: .3_): this determines how closely a search query must
   match in order to return an item as a result. 0.0 must be a perfect match, 1.0
   will match anything.
 * **Max Results per Section** (_Default: 5_): a max number of results per content
   type.
 * **Group Results by Type**: Results can be displayed one of two ways. The default
   is to display results in a flat list, ordered by closest match. Selecting this
   option displays results grouped by their content type, e.g., all the posts, pages,
   tags, categories, etc. will be grouped under individual subheadings.
 * **Included Post Types** (_Default: none_): Select post types from this checkbox
   group to include them in the search. All registered post types except for navigation
   menu items are included in this list.
 * **Included Taxonomies** (_Default: none_): Select taxonomies from this checkbox
   group to include them in the search. All registered taxonomies are included in
   this list.
 * **Clear Content Cache**: The data for this plugin is generated and loaded into
   the page from a cache that gets automatically cleared whenever new content is
   added. You can use this button to clear the cache manually.

  How does the search determine a match?

The live search compares the search term against titles, e.g., a post title, an 
admin page title, or an admin action title, using the [Fuse.js library](https://github.com/krisk/Fuse)
to find results.

  Keyboard Shortcuts

The ACP comes with some built-in keyboard shortcuts to make actions in the WordPress
admin easier. You do not need to open the ACP in order to use the shortcuts.

 * **␛** – Clear input focus
 * **⇧+s** – Primary button click
 * **⇧+p** – Preview
 * **⇧+t** – Trash
 * **⇧+v** – Open Post/Page in New Tab
 * **⇧+n** – Add New Post/Page
 * **⇧+f** – Set Featured Image
 *  – Pagination: next page
 *  – Pagination: previous page
 * **⇧+** – Pagination: last page
 * **⇧+** – Pagination: first page

I’m loving this plugin. It saves me a lot of time – especially when doing something
where I’m switching between admin pages constantly.
