Vim mode for editor and moving between resources 🚀

[sFritsch09]

What would you like to be added:

• I want to edit Kubernetes resources using Vim mode.
• Navigate the sidebar with Vim-like keybindings: use J to move down, K to move up, and press Enter to open resources.
• Would be nice to open the editor with a keybinding like Spacebar + E and Spacebar + F to go Full size mode or similar shortcuts/commands

Why is this needed:

• Gives VSCode like experience
• Enhances your workflow by allowing seamless navigation within Lens entirely from the keyboard, eliminating the need to switch to the mouse and keeping your hands in optimal position for efficiency.
• Enables faster and more precise editing of Kubernetes resources, making file examination not only quicker but also more enjoyable and productive.

Would you like me to tailor it further for a specific audience? Environment you are Lens application on:

• MacOS 15

• Kubernetes distribution: [EKS, AKS, GKE, Rancher, ...] any

• Desktop OS: MacOS
