Epic: Keyboard shortcuts for many more actions
What would you like to be added: More keyboard shortcuts.
Such as:
- Add new sync target for kubeconfigs (while viewing the catalog)
- Scrolling pod logs
- Creating/saving edits of kube resources
- Switching between hotbar items
- Tab flow for highlighting entries in kube lists
- Opening and closing details panels
- Tabbing through detail panels
- Switching between resource views without having to go to the command pallet
Why is this needed: As a power user the keyboard is often more convenient that using the mouse. Especially for repetitive tasks.
Keep in mind that some of examples are not related to keyboard shortcuts. It's two different things to make navigating in the UI work seamlessly and having keyboard shortcuts to do certain actions.
Two most commonly used tasks where keyboard shortcut can be of great help:
- select namespace.
- On pods page (scrolling thru pods list with up/down arrow)
- this should work in conjunction with
cmd+f
currently filtered pods list
- this should work in conjunction with
- On pods page, shortcut for showing pod logs of currently highlight pod (by up/down arrow)
@Nokel81 I really am in need for a keyboard shortcut for selecting the namespace to then type and switch namespace all using the keyboard.
I opened a new issue specifically for that https://github.com/lensapp/lens/issues/8078
I am more than happy to support in developing, testing nad shipping this shortcut with the next update. Let me know how can I help.
