Freshet Edit Jump

Cmd+E on a Mac, Ctrl+E on Windows and Linux, jumps straight to the edit screen of the page you are viewing. Alt+Shift+E is the universal fallback, for when the primary combination is already taken by your browser or your operating system; it does the same thing. Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+E toggles the admin bar back on. All three stay out of the way while you are typing in a field or a rich-text editor, so pressing the combination mid-sentence in a form does not throw you into wp-admin. There is nothing to remap and nothing to enable; the shortcuts are live the moment the plugin is. The shortcut table is in the docs.

The admin bar is hidden only for users who can edit content, which is the edit_posts capability. Every other logged-in role keeps it untouched. A subscriber, a customer on a shop or a member on a membership site still sees the bar and the account links it carries, because for them it is navigation rather than clutter. Logged-out visitors see no change at all; the plugin loads nothing for them, not even the script. The test is the capability, not the role name, so whoever WordPress lets edit is whoever loses the bar. Who loses the admin bar is in the docs.

Press Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+E and the admin bar is back, for your browser only. The toggle is stored in a cookie, so it survives a reload, lasts 30 days, and changes nothing for any other user or any other browser you are logged into. There is no option to save and nothing in the database. Press the combination again and the bar is gone again. The other way to get it back permanently is to deactivate the plugin. Getting the admin bar back is in the docs.

The jump fires on views with a real edit target: singular views, plus the blog index when a static posts page is set, and only where you have permission to edit that post. If nothing happens when you press the shortcut, the page has no edit target for you: an archive, a search result, a 404, or a post someone else owns and you cannot edit. The plugin does not guess. It only jumps where WordPress gives it a real edit URL. If the combination itself is taken by your browser or OS, use the fallback. Where the jump fires, and where it does not, is in the docs.

There is no settings screen, no dashboard widget, no menu item and nothing added under Settings. On the front end it adds one small script for logged-in users who can edit, in an asset file rather than inline, and no markup at all: no floating button, no wrapper, nothing that shifts the layout by a pixel. Install and activate, and the next page you load while logged in is the page a visitor sees, with the shortcut waiting underneath. That is the whole plugin.
