Admin Menus Fixed
What you need, where you need it – and when. For WordPress 3.8 to 6.9+ – Backward compatibile to WordPress 3.5 (see Other Notes) Works with: Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu 3.6+ and AG Custom Admin 1.2.5+ Admin Menus Fixed Three Ways: As a companion to Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu AND/OR AG Custom Admin OR Standalone (WordPress 3.5-3.7) New in v1.4 Now Responsive down to phone sizes. Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu header background automatically changes to high contrast when displayed on smaller screens. New in v1.4 Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu Header Gradient now wraps when the header does; improving the look and readability! Consolidates the WordPress Toolbar and Ozh’s menu and makes them both always readily available at the top of your window; no matter where you happen to be scrolled on a long page. Incorporates HoverIntent to chill the Toolbar drop-down menu hair trigger, so now you can overshoot Ozh’ Menu without the Toolbar menu falsely stepping on it; causing you to move away until it closes, so that you can get to what you were going for. Way easier to work this way. Fast. Efficient. Automatically adjusts to the WordPress Toolbar display state; whether disabled by Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu or AG Custom Admin. Standalone: (Depreciated) The WordPress Devs have taken a page from this plugin’s book, pulling the concept into core by fixed-positioning the Toolbar and Admin Menus in versions 3.8+, so the plugin code is shrinking. Kinda goes against the new direction of pulling code out of core and having plugins handle the function if you want/need it, but I’m glad that the concept has been adopted; because it was long overdue. The plugin is returning to its own core purpose, that of enhancing Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu, and I’m OK with that. – see Other Notes For the backstory and a comprehensive overview of how the plugin got its start, see the Fixed Admin Menus – The Plugin post series.

See the Screenshots for all of the combinations.
Dashboard Navigator
In modern operating systems you can press a Start or Spotlight key, type a few letters of the operation you need, and choose it. 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 for his Admin Menu Search plugin. This is, I hope, worthwhile improvement on it.
