Which keyboard shortcut allows you to place each pipe on a new line?

  1. Ctrl + Alt + \

  2. Ctrl + \

  3. Shift + \

  4. Alt + \

The correct answer is: Ctrl + \

The shortcut that enables you to place each pipe on a new line is indeed the one associated with the combination of the Ctrl key and the backslash key. When you use this keyboard shortcut while working in the Splunk search interface, it formats your search query for better readability by placing each command following a pipe on a separate line. This visual organization helps in understanding complex queries and improves the clarity of the search logic being constructed. Other options do not accomplish the same task of formatting the query in this manner, as they may reference different functions or are not valid shortcuts within the Splunk environment. Understanding the utility of this specific shortcut can significantly enhance your efficiency and effectiveness when constructing sophisticated queries in Splunk.
