Emoji is not an accessible UI elements

[mpicard]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's difficult to decode what the dog emojis means, it's not very accessible.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like that the dog emojis when searching/commands are replaced or enhanced with meaningful text.

Describe alternatives you've considered There are no alternatives that I am aware of. The emojis are always there.

@mpicard Similarly to NO_COLOR we should definitely also maintain and promote NO_EMOJI (broken link... yet)!

Agreed: the difference between 🐶 (commands) and 🐩 (filters) is very subjective. And the fact that both emojis have > suffix does not help either. The least that can be done to change the command mode suffix to : like in vim for example.

K9S does provide a configuration option to disable icons/emoji.

To disable icons in K9S, set k9s.ui.noIcons to true:

# ~/.config/k9s/config.yaml

k9s:
    ui:
        noIcons: true
        #...
    # ...

EDIT 1: To address the question on colors, you can adjust the color theme using a custom skin. It may require some tweaking to get it all to display nicely with just black and white settings. But should certainly be achievable.

EDIT 2: I filed a related issue about customization of icons at #2624
