Consider KUI integration #3693

Open kferrone opened 3 years ago

kferrone commented 3 years ago

What would you like to be added: Use the kui terminal in lens from here https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kui The idea is the little plus button on the terminal would have another option for kui as an alternative to the normal shell.

Why is this needed: The terminal feature in lens is just a shell. KUI is the official kubernetes ui for terminal and it runs on electron just like lens. KUI would greatly improve the Lens terminal and I wouldn't need both open at once.

Thanks for the suggestion, but do you see an advantage to this over just running them side-by-side?

less windows mainly. Could also be said about the current terminal in Lens. I could just run a terminal on the side of Lens or my IDE, however I prefer when terminals are integrated.

Just an idea, clicking on resources in kui could link to resources in lens. Then Lens would have a truly unique terminal truly meant for kubernetes. They are both electron too!
