Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get the path to a YAML value?

Click on any key or value in the tree view. A tooltip appears showing the full path (like .spec.containers[0].image). Click the tooltip to copy the path.

What path format is used?

Paths use dot notation for object keys and bracket notation for arrays, similar to jq or yq. For example: .metadata.labels.app or .spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort
