How to move around fast: contexts, namespaces, resource kinds, and keyboard shortcuts.

The toolbar flow​

Each dropdown resets the next one when changed:

• Change kubeconfig → contexts reload, then namespaces, then API resources.
• Change context → namespaces reload; previously-selected kind is preserved if available.
• Change namespace → current kind refreshes for the new namespace.
• Change kind → table swaps to the new resource's columns and rows.

Kubeconfig dropdown​

• Type in the filter box to narrow the list.
• Click a kubeconfig to switch. The Kubernetes API probe has a 5-second timeout (SSH-tunneled entries get an additional 15-second SSH connect budget).
• Add, edit, or remove entries via the Kubeconfigs dialog (Dots menu → Kubeconfigs).

Context dropdown​

Lists every context in the current kubeconfig. Single-context files show the label but the dropdown is effectively a no-op.

Namespace dropdown​

• All namespaces — cluster-wide view for namespaced kinds.
• Regular namespaces listed alphabetically.
• Your last-used namespace is remembered per kubeconfig + context.

The Kind selector (Cmd/Ctrl + K)​

The fastest way to change resource kind.

![kind selector]

• Opens a modal-style overlay.
• Search — type to filter across all groups (e.g. ing, deploy, pv).
• Arrow keys / Enter — keyboard-navigate and select.
• Esc — close without switching.

Kinds are shown in logical groups:

1. Latest — most recently selected kinds (your personal favorites, built up automatically).
2. Workloads — Pod, Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job, CronJob, ReplicaSet.
3. Config — ConfigMap, Secret, HPA, PDB, PriorityClass.
4. Network — Service, Ingress, NetworkPolicy, Endpoints, EndpointSlice.
5. Storage — PV, PVC, StorageClass.
6. Your custom groups — see below.
7. Other — everything else discovered from the API (includes CRDs like Argo's Application, Helm releases, etc.).

Customizing groups​

Open Dots menu → Resource Groups to add or remove groups and move kinds between them. Changes persist to disk.

Resource list toolbar extras​

• Search box — global match across resource names and YAML content.
• Table / Graph toggle — the two icons on the right of the toolbar. Cmd/Ctrl + G toggles.
• Dots menu — Helm Install, Create (via YAML editor), Columns (toggle visibility), New Window.

Create and Columns are hidden until resources have finished loading.

Opening the Info viewport​

Any of these open the Info window for the highlighted resource:

• Double-click a row.
• Right-click → Info.
• Press Enter with a row selected.

Keyboard shortcuts (global)​

Esc	Close dialog / clear search

Shell window​

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl + Shift + F	Search within terminal buffer (so Ctrl+F is free for bash readline)
Esc	Closes the Shell window only when the terminal is not focused — protects running sessions
