Increase hotbar width / make it re-sizable to allow friendly names in the hotbar
What would you like to be added:
- Modify the hotbar to allow a 15-charecter friendly name, so that users who have many clusters defined can scroll vertically and select the right one. Currently we have only 12 that you can add there.
- Ideally allow a ICON/gif as well to the left/right of the charecter-string-friendly-name
- And further, possibly make GIF/full-name display a user preference choice.
- Also make the hotbar hidable
- Eventually, allow the hotbar to have groups of clusters, that are collapsible & expandable to allow groupings for example "dev", "stage", "department1", "department2"
Why is this needed: Some users have many k8s clusters in their environments, including groups of clusters like dev/stg/prod/department etc. Above features make it user friendly and convenient to manage. Current 12 in hotbar looks like a arbitrary limitation.
Environment you are Lens application on: Mac

Thanks we will take this into consideration.
I, too, would prefer to use a short friendly/name alias list rather than icons in the hotbar. Trying to trick the three-letter generator on top of the auto-icon isn't helpful.
