Description
When use dropdown to go to other screen, seems weird that it doesn't change the menu. kind of thinking that the most recent item used (from the dropdown) should be the item that shows as the default button state, rather than add new post always showing.
Change History (8)
It is a bit weird to for it to always show the same thing, but having it show the current would mean always having to use the hover to get off the current page.
Isn't this going to be customizable in the future? I don't know where, but I swear I heard that somewhere.
I started writing code to custumize it on a per user basis on the Profile Screen, I did it as a multi select box but ran into a problem of how to get the entire menu in the multi select box as:
<option value="'post-new.php' => array(__('Add New Post'), 'edit_posts')"><?php _e( 'Add New Post' ); ?></option>
Also trying to figure out the adding something to the usermeta table and retriving it from the table, as I'm not used to interfacing with the database.
The actions are an array: url => array ( title, user capability )
$actions = array(
'post-new.php' => array(__('Add New Post'), 'edit_posts'),
'page-new.php' => array(__('Add New Page'), 'edit_pages'),
'edit-comments.php' => array(__('Manage Comments'), 'moderate_comments')
);
$actions = apply_filters('favorite_actions', $actions);

I think Add new Post has the highest "priority" as it replaces the button we used to have above the menu.
