User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/New Shortcuts Menu in the Page Header/@comment-1611013-20180110202528/@comment-20644-20180110234526

Aside from the Admin Dashboard link, we wanted to make a first version of the new header that was as consistent as possible between logged out and logged in users, since that was the most critical evolution of the header. But we always wanted to add more useful functions for logged in users and this is the next step towards that. Glad you like having the shortcuts there!
