# Interactive Wizards
kportal includes wizards for adding and removing port forwards from the running UI.
## ⌨️ Quick Reference
| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `a` | Add new forward |
| `d` | Delete forwards |
## Add Forward Wizard
Press `a` from the main view to start the wizard.
### Steps
1. **Context** - Select Kubernetes context
2. **Namespace** - Select namespace
3. **Resource Type** - Choose pod (prefix), pod (selector), or service
4. **Resource** - Enter prefix, selector, or select service
5. **Remote Port** - Enter port on the resource
6. **Local Port** - Enter local port (validates availability)
7. **Confirm** - Review and optionally add an alias
### Navigation
| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `↑↓` / `j/k` | Navigate options |
| `Enter` | Confirm and proceed |
| `Esc` | Go back / Cancel |
| `Ctrl+C` | Cancel immediately |
## 🗑️ Delete Forward Wizard

| `↑↓` / `j/k` | Navigate |
| `Space` | Toggle selection |

| `Esc` | Cancel |
## 🎯 Resource Selection
### Pod by Prefix
Enter app name prefix to match pods:
- `nginx` matches `nginx-deployment-abc123`
- `postgres` matches `postgres-statefulset-0`
### Pod by Selector
Use Kubernetes label syntax:
- `app=nginx`
- `app=nginx,env=prod`
Matching pods are shown in real-time.
### Service
Select from discovered services in the namespace.
## 🔄 Auto Hot-Reload
Changes are applied automatically:
1. Wizard writes to `.kportal.yaml` atomically
2. File watcher detects change (~100ms)
3. Manager reloads and starts forward
4. UI updates
## Error Handling
The wizards handle:
- Cluster unreachable - allows manual entry
- Port conflicts - shows which process is using the port
- Invalid selectors - real-time validation
- Duplicate ports - prevents conflicts
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### Wizard not appearing
Verify cluster connectivity:
```bash
kubectl cluster-info
```
### Port validation delayed
Port checks run asynchronously. Wait briefly after typing.
### Changes not visible
Check:
1. `.kportal.yaml` was written correctly
2. No validation errors in file
3. kportal process is running
