## Beschrijving

Sometimes you may have a lot of admin menu items based on your WordPress installation.
With this plugin, you only need to type a few letters of the item name you’re looking
for and voila! The plugin uses modern vanilla JavaScript to filter menu items efficiently
with case-insensitive matching.

**Key Features:**

 * **No jQuery dependency** – Pure vanilla JavaScript for better performance
 * **Debounced search** – Optimized filtering with 150ms delay for smooth typing
 * **Keyboard shortcuts** – Ctrl/Cmd + F to focus search, Escape to clear
 * **Accessibility support** – Proper ARIA labels and keyboard navigation
 * **Modern CSS** – Smooth transitions and visual feedback
 * **Performance optimized** – Efficient DOM manipulation and event handling

**How it works:**

The plugin adds a search input at the top of the admin menu and follows these filtering
rules:

 1. For parent menu items: Matching items remain visible
 2. For child menu items: Matching items stay highlighted and keep their parent visible
 3. Visual feedback: Filtered items are hidden, active items get subtle background 
    highlighting

**Technical Improvements in v0.3:**

 * **Complete rewrite** – Eliminated jQuery dependency for faster loading
 * **Enhanced UX** – Added keyboard shortcuts and better visual states
 * **Better architecture** – Modular JavaScript with proper error handling
 * **Improved accessibility** – Screen reader support and keyboard navigation
 * **Modern styling** – Updated CSS with focus states and transitions
