- When inputting in a Pod Attach, your input should remain at the bottom of the window at all times. Currently, as you type, if there’s anything outputting in the pod at the same time, that output will overlap what you’re typing before you’ve completed the input.
- There should be an ability to copy from Pod Attach output, and an ability to paste into the Pod Attach input.
Dear @lkjcdjklvcxkjl

Thanks a lot for bringing this up! These are very valid suggestions—keeping input visible while typing and improving copy/paste support in Pod Attach would definitely improve usability. We’ll review this with the team and consider it for future improvements.
Appreciate your feedback!
We decided not to do this improvement as we want Lens to mirror the functionality of kubectl attach. However, we have verified that the copy & paste works in the Attach Pod feature.
We have investigated the feature request a bit more. Currently we are mirroring kubectl attach functionality, but we are curious on what is your use case here? Is it a specific application where kubectl attach is useful? Do you have opinions on how the UI would look like if we would not follow kubectl’s approach?
