  • Focuses ui removed
  • Keywords has-patch added

@colomet The "Plugin" menu is not required to everyone as a shortcut menu on admin bar but if everybody agrees to add plugin shortcut then i have added patch for same.

I have added "Plugin" shortcut menu option after the "Menus" which shows if current user has capability to install plugins like current_user_can( 'install_plugins' ). Please see the below attached snapshot.

The new Plugins link would not belong between Appearance and Menus.

I prefer placing the new link before the set of Appearance links 40683.before-appearance.patch . However, that does not match the order of links in the side admin menu, so I made another option with Plugins at the end of the Appearance group 40683.end-of-appearance-group.patch .

Both patch options use the ID of 'ab-plugins' (similar to ab-icon and ab-item) to avoid any confusion with links added by plugins. A directory search found some nodes with a 'plugins' ID. Of course, this one could have a better name, too.
