Six prefixes that get you anywhere in the cluster.
Press Ctrl K, or : in a list, and start typing. Matching is fuzzy and recently used entries rank higher.
Kinds, contexts, namespaces, actions, favorites and filters behind one shortcut.| Prefix | Searches | Example |
|---|
| none | Everything: kinds, contexts, namespaces, favorites, actions and loaded objects. Objects need at least 2 characters. | nginx |
: | Resource kinds: names, short names, singular names, kind.group and categories such as all, including CRDs, with live counts. | :deploy -A |
@ | Contexts, with connection state and latency. | @staging-eu-west-1 |
# | Namespaces. Open lists follow along. | #kube-system |
> | Actions available where you opened the palette, with their keys. | >restart rollout |
* | Favorites across every cluster. | *payments |
/ | Filter the focused list. | /CrashLoop |
Press Backspace on an empty prefixed query to return to searching everything.
