| 32 | +through all kubectl get commands. You could also use CTRL+r to search |
| 33 | +from the history of commands. |

| 60 | +vi editing mode |
| 61 | +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Press ESC you have all key bindings (w: next word, b: prev word) to move |
| 64 | +across the words. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Installation |
| 67 | +------------ |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +The kube-shell requires python and |
| 70 | +```pip`` <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip>`__ to install. You can |
| 71 | +install the kube-shell using ``pip``: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +.. code:: bash |
| 74 | +
|
| 75 | + $ pip install kube-shell |
| 76 | +
|
| 77 | +Usage |
| 78 | +----- |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +After installing kube-shell through pip, just run kube-shell to bring up |
| 81 | +shell. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +At the kube-shell command prompt you can run exit or press F10 to exit |
| 84 | +the shell. You can clear the screen by running clear command. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +By default drop-down suggestion list also displays in-line |
| 87 | +documentation, you can turn on/off inline documnetation by pressing F4 |
| 88 | +button. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +You can run any shell command by prefixing command with "!". For e.g. |
| 91 | +!ls would list from the current directory. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +Under the hood |
| 94 | +-------------- |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +Other than generation of suggestions all heavy lifting is done by |
| 97 | +Python's `prompt |
| 98 | +toolkit <https://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit>`__, |
| 99 | +`Pygments <http://pygments.org>`__ libraries. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +A GO `program <misc/python_eats_cobra.go>`__ is used to generate |
| 102 | +kubectl's commands, subcommands, arguments, global options and local |
| 103 | +options in `json <kubeshell/data/cli.json>`__ format. Kube-shell uses |
| 104 | +generated json file to suggest commands, subcommands, options and args. |
| 105 | +For server side completion kube-shell uses |
| 106 | +`client-python <https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/client-python>`__ |
| 107 | +libray to fetch the resources. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +Status |
| 110 | +------ |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +Kube-shell should be useful now. But given that its aim is to increase |
| 113 | +productivity and easy of use, it can be improved in a number of ways. If |
| 114 | +you have suggestions for improvements or new features, or run into a bug |
| 115 | +please open an issue |
| 116 | +`here <https://github.com/cloudnativelabs/kube-shell/issues>`__ or chat |
| 117 | +in the `Gitter <https://gitter.im/kube-shell/Lobby>`__. |
| 118 | + |
