Which cluster you are looking at
Kubernetes mode follows the currently focused terminal to choose its host: either an SSH jump host or the local kubeconfig. Switching focus therefore switches the cluster context source, which is why the panel and the terminal should be read together.
Contexts and namespaces
- Context and namespace selectors, plus a search box.
- The default namespace filter is All namespaces.
- Namespace labels are coloured by name with a stable mapping, so the same namespace keeps its colour.
Resource kinds
Ten kinds share one row model: pods, deployments, statefulsets, daemonsets, services, ingresses, jobs, cronjobs, configmaps and secrets.
| Row action | Notes |

| View and edit | Edit and apply YAML |
| Scale | Available on the shared row model |
| Delete | Requires an in-app confirmation |
| Logs | View or stream, with ANSI colours preserved |
| Pod shell | Enter a shell in a Pod |
| Pod files | Browse files inside a Pod |
| Port forwarding | Rules can be saved |
