Resource Viewing/Editing

[ReggieCarey]

What would you like to be added:

SNARKY ENHANCEMENT REQUEST: Please hire a human factors engineer and listen to them.

The only way to see a resource is to select it in the window. Move you mouse to the far right of the screen find the ... then select that little icon, then select edit. If you miss slightly then a largely useless overlay appears often containing no part of the "spec" section - the thing I really wanted to view. Once the editor shows up. The content is ALWAYS filled with metadata that has managedFields in it. This is largely useless (provide a setting to allow us to turn this off). You could do something similar to kubectl edit instead of kubectl get -oyaml.

I really want you to stop spreading UI interactions across the entire screen. Selecting something on the left hand side (or top) of the screen only to have to move to the far right (or bottom) of the screen to continue interaction is frustrating as hell. Example: I want to delete a resource. Move the far left of the screen to select a little window. Move the cursor to the far right and to the bottom to find the (-) button that appears.

Alternately, I could IGNORE the obvious check box on the left and side of the screen. Scroll horizontally till I see the ..., make sure I select it and not a bit to the left or right, Click it. Then click the edit. If I did accidentally get the whole overlay to appear, I then have to figure out what new icons to press because what was there (icons for edit/delete) is now covered up. Now I either press Esc and try again or go further to the right and up to get to the edit/delete icons.

Another really bad UI design. The query Icon. Its someplace on the screen, but the subsequent window to enter content is someplace else entirely on the screen when it appears. Why?

Why is this needed:

You have users that live in this tool - they wont if it continues to be difficult to use. Interaction needs to be smooth and consistent, and the idioms need to be consistent with what is expected for modern UI's. If I click somewhere I expect the rest of my interaction to be somewhere near where I clicked - not on the opposite side of the application page. This application seems to be going out of its way to be difficult to use and it seems you're making it harder and harder on each new version.

Environment you are Lens application on:

• Kubernetes distribution: [EKS, AKS, GKE, Rancher, ...]
  Many

• Desktop OS:
  MacOS

I would have submitted this via the Support button but your application apparently does not how how to read my system installed ca-certificates. I get a ca-certificate error followed by a blank support window and spinner.
