vim-k8s

Plugin for vim/nvim that allows you to easily list pods and execing into it with a preferred shell. You bind a mapping to show the list of pods, when the list appears you have a few options available:

• <enter> - exec into the pod
• e - exec into the pod
• d - describe the pod

Configuration

The only global mapping required is <Plug>(vim_k8s-listpods), so you can map it to anything non-conflicting like:

nnoremap <silent> <leader>a <Plug>(vim_k8s-listpods)

This mapping has to be added, since this plugin does not take any default mapping. The mapping is also only tested for normal mode, but you could map it in other modes.

The exec command used for the pods is:

kubectl exec -it <pod> <shell>

The default shell is bash, if you want to change it you can set it like this in your vim file:

let g:vim_k8s#shell = 'sh'

or

let g:vim_k8s#shell = 'zsh'

Most important is that the shell set, actually exists in the pod.

It is possible to change the pager of the pod describe command by setting the global variable vim_k8s#pager

let g:vim_k8s#pager = 'more'

The default is less
