Plugins - k9scli.io
K9s allows you to extend your command line and tooling by defining your very own cluster commands via plugins. K9s looks at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/plugins.yaml to locate all available plugins.
Config - k9scli.io
The main configuration file is named config.yaml and stores various K9s specific bits. For information on the default locations for your OS please see this link. If you are still confused a quick k9s info will reveal where k9s is loading its configurations from.
Skins - k9scli.io
Skins Overview You can style K9s based on your own sense of look and style. Skins are YAML files, that enable a user to change the K9s presentation layer. Skin files live in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/skins folder. You can specify a general skin using skin: skin_file_name_no_extension attribute that applies to all your clusters.
HotKeys - k9scli.io
HotKeys Overview Entering the command mode and typing a resource name or alias could be cumbersome for navigating thru often visited resources. By leveraging hotkeys, K9s can be configured to quickly navigate to your favorite resources. In order to enable hotkeys please follow these steps: Create a file named $XDG_DATA_HOME/k9s/hotkeys.yaml
Aliases - k9scli.io
Aliases In K9s, you can define your very own command aliases (short-names) to access your resources. In your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s define a file called aliases.yaml. A K9s alias defines pairs of alias:gvr or alias:command. A gvr (Group/Version/Resource) represents a fully qualified Kubernetes resource identifier.
Shell - k9scli.io
NodeShell Overview By enabling the nodeShell feature gate for a given context, K9s allows you to shell into your cluster nodes. Once enabled, you will have a new s for shell menu option while in node view. K9s will launch a pod on the selected node using a special k9s_shell pod.
