Features

Secret List

The main view shows all secrets in the current profile with their status:

• Name - The environment variable name
• Value Preview - A truncated preview of the decrypted value
• Provider - Which provider manages the secret

Use arrow keys or j/k to navigate through the list.

Search Filtering

Press / to enter search mode. Type to filter secrets by name. The list updates in real-time as you type. Press Esc to clear the search and return to the full list.

Profile Switching

Press p to open the profile picker. Select a different profile to view its secrets. This allows you to quickly compare secrets across environments (dev, staging, production).

Secret Details

Press Enter on any secret to view its full details:

• Full decrypted value
• Provider name
• Description (if set)
• Default value (if set)
• Key name in the provider (if different from env var name)

Press Esc to close the detail view.

Copy to Clipboard

Press c to copy the currently selected secret's value to your clipboard. A confirmation message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen.

Edit Secrets

Press e to edit the selected secret's value. This opens an input field where you can modify the value. Press Enter to confirm or Esc to cancel.

WARNING

Edits made in the TUI are temporary and stored in memory only. They are not persisted to your config file. To permanently change a secret, use fnox set.
