Beautifying Custom Capabilities Section

[James Wee]

Dear Vladimir,

When I have created 10 Post types, the Custom Capabilities section is a total mess. Is there a way to categorize them properly? Or is there a plan to do so?

Please advice.

Hi James,

I see this mess every day hundreds of times during development and testing and fully agree with you. I open to the suggestions.

1st one – to add separate tab for every registered custom post type.

Can you offer something else?

Thanks for being very open about this.

I actually like how the member plugin did it in a very organized and tabled way.
Have a look here.

The only request I want improved on top of their work is the use of “shift” key to multi-select many checkboxes, like how you can use the shift key to select checkboxes on Gmail.

Hi James,

Good point to follow. Thanks. Let’s go in this direction.
