You can define additional menu entries or shortcuts in the navigation menu without any link to content.

Basic configuration

Edit the website configuration config.toml and add a [[menu.shortcuts]] entry for each link your want to add.

Example from the current website:

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fab fa-fw fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
identifier = "ds"
url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
weight = 10

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
url = "more/showcase/"
weight = 11

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-bookmark'></i> Hugo Documentation"
identifier = "hugodoc"
url = "https://gohugo.io/"
weight = 20

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-bullhorn'></i> Credits"
url = "more/credits/"
weight = 30

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-tags'></i> Tags"
url = "tags/"
weight = 40

By default, shortcuts are preceded by a title. This title can be disabled by setting disableShortcutsTitle=true. However, if you want to keep the title but change its value, it can be overriden by changing your local i18n translation string configuration.

For example, in your local i18n/en.toml file, add the following content

[Shortcuts-Title]
other = "<Your value>"

Configuration for Multilingual mode

When using a multilingual website, you can set different menus for each language. In the config.toml file, prefix your menu configuration by Languages.<language-id>.

Example from the current website:

[Languages]
  [Languages.en]
    title = "Hugo Relearn Theme"
    weight = 1
    languageName = "English"
    landingPageURL = "/"
    landingPageName = "<i class='fas fa-home'></i> Home"

  [[Languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fab fa-fw fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
    identifier = "ds"
    url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
    weight = 10

  [[Languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
    url = "more/showcase/"
    weight = 11

  [[Languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-bookmark'></i> Hugo Documentation"
