## Description

The QuickLogin plugin for self-hosted WordPress sites adds Squarespace-inspired 
detection of Escape key to login to the site. Just install the plugin, and pressing
the “Escape” key while viewing your site will present the login panel if you’re 
not already logged in, returning you to the page you were viewing after login.

If you are already logged in, pressing the escape key serves as a convenient shortcut
to access the wp-admin interface for your blog.

### (Incomplete) Version History

1.0.2

QuickLogin will now interpret a press of the trigger key (ESC) when already logged
in as implying that the user wants to jump directly to the admin panel.

Remove dependency on jQuery.

## Installation

To install this plugin, just copy the “QuickLogin” folder to

[YourWordPressSite]/wp-content/plugins/

And then enable the plugin from your WordPress admin panel plugins page.
