⚠️ Deprecation Notice
-----------
The 1.x-1.x branch of the Shortcut module is no longer supported. Development has moved to the new [1.x-2.x](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/shortcut/tree/1.x-2.x) branch:
The 1.x-2.x branch was rewritten from the ground up and does not share code with 1.x-1.x, so there is no direct upgrade path between the two branches. We strongly recommend switching to the new 1.x-2.x branch for all future use and development.
Description
-----------
According to https://backdropcms.org/upgrade-from-drupal/features-removed-core
the Shortcut module was removed from Backdrop core as "a feature not used by the
majority of websites". This module brings it back to Backdrop as a contributed
module.
Installation
------------
Download and place the recommended version of the module in your website's
modules directory, go to the **Functionality** page (`/admin/modules`) and
enable the **Shortcut** module.
Alternatively, use [Bee](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/bee) and just run:
```
bee -y en shortcut
```
on your terminal, and it will automatically download and enable the module.
Configuration
-------------
Go to **Configuration > User interface > Shortcuts** (`admin/config/user-interface/shortcut`)
page to manage shortcut sets. You can create new shortcut sets, delete existing
ones, change set names, list links and add or delete shortcut links.
Go to **Configuration > User accounts > Permissions** (`admin/config/people/permissions#module-shortcut`)
and set desired permissions for user roles.
Admins can assign specific shortcut sets to users on their individual account pages (`user/[uid]/shortcuts`).
Using
-------------
There are two ways of displaying the shortcuts:
1) Go to **Structure > Layouts > [select layout] > Manage blocks** and add the
Shortcuts block to any region (for example, to HEADER region). You can style the
Shortcut block output;
Alternatively,
2) Go to **Configuration > User accounts > Permissions** (`admin/config/people/permissions#module-admin_bar`)
and give authenticated (or any other) role the `Access administration bar`
permission, clear cache and the new `Shortcuts` menu item will appear on the
admin bar.
