Can I press enter in a Kibana Search and not do a search it just moves the text to a new line?  
So my data appears like this, that is not one big long text in one line and rather 4 different lines:

```
eventType:DeviceRequestResponseEvent
AND (_exists_:payload.cattle.name)
AND farmId:${farm_id}
AND payload.deviceRequestResponseEvent.payloadType:COMMAND_REQUEST_TYPE

```

I cam coming from a splunk background and I can do that [here](https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Can-I-press-enter-in-a-splunk-search-and-not-do-a-search-it-just/m-p/291657)

Welcome to our community! 😃

I don't believe Kibana supports that, but it's a great idea! Do you mind opening a feature request on GitHub? [http://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](http://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues)
