Hi forum,
I'm currently searching for a way to use the new Splunk 6.5.0 feature "query formatting" on a German keyboard. When I switch my German keyboard to US it's working like expected using CTRL+\ (on german keyboard "#"). When switching to German it's neither working the CTRL+AltGr+"\" (right to 0) nor with "#" key 😕
Any hints?
Regards,
Andreas
Hi,
just for reference. You'll find a lot of shortcuts here:

On Mac use CMD+Shift+F -> works with US and German keyboard setting.
Is there any keyboard mapping for Linux using a German Keyboard?

No idea... though it is the same in major IDEs such as eclipse, so it seems logical.
good catch!
Ctrl+Shift+F?
Bingo!!! Thx Martin. How did you find out?
Any solution for a Mac using german keyboard?
On Mac use CMD+Shift+F -> works with US and German keyboard setting.
CTRL + ^ works for me.
I downvoted this post because this key combination does not work.
On german keyboard CTRL + ^ works on Windows in Chrome, not in Firefox.
@tbaublys thanks for the hint regarding Chrome and Firefox... my work has the policy to not use Chrome 😞
@Splunk will the feature be enabled in Firefox someday? Currently working with 7.0.2
Thank you
WOW ... great, thanks .. makes my day!
A similar question was asked by a customer who uses a Norwegian Keyboard (below):
https://www.datacal.com/image/popup?imagePath=%2fimages%2fproduct%2flarge%2f310.jpg
There is a §| key above the Tab key (left of the 1) and that produces the \ character within Splunk.
Pressing Ctrl+§| enables Search Bar formatting in Splunk 6.5.x. This was confirmed to work by the customer.
That is the same physical location of the ^ character on a German T2 Keyboard
well, the workaround without 3rd party sw is to switch to US using STRG+SHIFT
before hitting us: CTRL+\ = de: CTRL+#
and switch back using STRG+SHIFT
I might try to open a call for it.

I can't tell you directly but I am certain that you can use a keyboard mapping tool to reprogram the key sequence of your choice to send the key sequence necessary. It is overkill but it should work. Try any of these:

Maybe, try
CMD+AltGr+"\"
Are you able to type the other two characters on the same key of "\" (beta and ?)
nope - just to make sure - I'm using a Windows client. CMD would be Windowskey within no luck so far..
