    Very cool. Definitely think "this" is a reason to hack the core - so in the future, you don't have to :) Commented Mar 30, 2012 at 16:02

    There's ongoing discussion on this ticket as well - plus a further patch proposing a user option instead of just a filter. Please keep track of that conversation if you decide to actually hack Core ... because if/when things change in a future release, you'll need to change your code as well.

  • Why not just hack the $_REQUEST global on add_action( 'edit.php', ... ) and the like, while we wait for core to adopt the patch/proposal? Commented Mar 30, 2012 at 17:44
  • @Soulseekah Good alternative ... just not a fan of hacking the $_REQUEST object myself. Feel free to post another answer outlining how it could be done. Commented Mar 30, 2012 at 17:56

    +1 for getting it on the road to core with some great patches, hopefully we'll see the changesets soon. Commented Mar 30, 2012 at 18:32
