K9s: Confused about headings at bottom of k9s

[kevinlong206]

Describe the bug
After issuing a 'command' in k9s, such as: po, ing, ns etc , a new "heading" is created at the bottom of the view: <pods><ns><po><ns> for example. The most recently created and thus active "heading" is a different color from the rest. Intuitively, I would think this means a new tab/buffer has been created and that one should be able to toggle back and forth between these views or buffers.

I may be being dense, but I just can't figure out what the reason for these heading are. Is it simply a command history? I have no found any way to "toggle" back to previous ones, or delete one either. Typing the same command such as :ns multiple times just creates more of these headings, rather than switching back to the one which is already created. Probably not a bug, I'm just wondering if I am missing something or if this is like not-yet-implemented behavior I am expecting.

Very cool tool though, thanks.

To Reproduce
Any command in k9s creates on of these and I am just wanting clarification on what the purpose is.

Expected behavior
NA

Hey @kevinlong206, thanks for your very detailed report.

This is indeed a breadcrumb, you can use it to return to the last view using the p shortcut. You can see this and other shortcuts in the help view that can be accessed by the ? shortcut.

Hope this answers your question.

Ah yes, it does. I feel dumb I thought I had tried 'p' but I guess not. Might be neat to have both previous and next (rather than delete breadcrumb). But now I understand at least, thanks!

I think there are room for improvement with this feature, I also did have the same questions when I started to use k9s.
I'll create a new issue for this if there is not any.

@kevinlong206 @sgandon Thank you all for your feedback! I've rework this functionality in 0.10.1 and introduced hotkeys. Hopefully it's a bit better...
