Hi Mario! Have you tried to run k9s with -c option?

Hi @slimus , thanks for the heads-up about the -c option. I was just giving an example of a specific use-case. I don't think it resolves the knee jerk friction I feel when waiting for the splash screen (which still shows up when using -c to navigate to a particular view).

I see. We collect some data from your cluster while showing a splash screen. Do you want to see a black screen instead or do you want to speed it up?

I'm running against a local minikube cluster on Docker, so most queries should be really quick. From what I understood of the source code, it's a fixed 1s splash screen. I can appreciate from a UX perspective a "splash" screen that disappears very quickly could be a jarring experience out-of-the-box.

If it's not possible to render the main UI without the contextual information, I would be fine with a black or "loading" screen that I knew would disappear as soon as possible. I'd be fine with the splash screen too, if I could configure it to go away as soon as the data is ready.

I really like the ascii art, but would be fantastic to have a command line switch or option that disables the splash screen so that I can make quick changes when developing without waiting for it to display and disappear.
