@sgandon Thank you for this report! In parity with kubectl, describe does not automatically decode the secret data. To see the base64 decoded secret playload you can use Ctrl-x

[sgandon]

Thank a lot for this quick answer.
I did try Ctrl-x when the describe was shown and it did not work, I finally found that this is a command to be used on the secret selection.
I would be nice to have it implemented in the describe view as well.
What do you think ?

That would be handy...

Alternatively, if it''s not going to work on the describe screen, it'd be nice to take it off of the suggested shortcuts up top while in a description. I often see it up there and forget it won't work on that screen until I try it.

Keep the parity. Use ctrl-x when you need to decode.

@RothAndrew ... so using ctrl-x to decode from the secrets list is ok, but also being able to hit ctrl-x while in a secret describe is a bad thing? Why?

[RothAndrew]

Ah my mistake, I thought they meant they wanted describe to decode. Being able to press ctrl-x from the describe page would be nice.
