A systems administrator is editing a script file in the nano text editor and needs to replace every instance of the word "temp" with "local". After opening the file in nano, which key combination should the administrator press to initiate the search and replace function?
The correct key combination to initiate the search and replace function in the nano text editor is Ctrl+\. After pressing this combination, nano will prompt for the search term, and then the replacement term. The user will then be prompted to replace the first instance, all instances, or skip to the next. The other options are incorrect. Ctrl+W is used to search for text (Where is). Ctrl+O is used to save the file (Write Out). Ctrl+G is used to display the help menu (Get Help).
