Abbreviations

Don't use common abbreviations, such as a.k.a., e.g., etc., i.e., and vs. in documentation and UI text. Instead, use precise language and state what you mean. See the Usage dictionary for terms to use instead of abbreviations.

For keyboard shortcuts, abbreviate the names of keys only if you have a space constraint, otherwise spell out letter keys and key names. See Writing keyboard shortcuts in Splunk docs.

It's okay to abbreviate a unit of measurement in text. See Measurements.
