## Description

Usher brings Gmail-like keyboard shortcuts for navigating around the various core
pages of the WordPress admin.

Additionally, it includes a robust API for registering new global and screen-specific
keyboard shortcuts.

To register new shortcuts, use the Usher\register_shortcut() function. For example:

_Add a shortcut for the EDD Dashboard_

    ```
    Usher\register_shortcut( 'g d', array(
        'label' => __( 'Navigate to the EDD dashboard', 'textdomain' ),
        'url'   => 'edit.php?post_type=download',
        'cap'   => 'manage_shop_settings'
    ) );
    ```

_Add a shortcut for the Jetpack Dashboard_

    ```
    Usher\register_shortcut( 'g j', array(
        'label' => __( 'Navigate to the Jetpack dashboard', 'textdomain' ),
        'url'   => 'admin.php?page=jetpack',
        'cap'   => 'manage_options',
    ) );
    ```
