Radial text box
I’d like to have my text radiate from the outside or inside of round text boxes. Like the spokes of a bicycle.

Convert hidden hyperlink destinations to endnotes?
I want to create, from an InDesign file, a list of the hyperlink destinations, and at the same time create footnote callouts in the text after each word that is formatted as a hyperlink. I want to format the normally invisible hyperlink destinations as endnotes. Possible?

Bad visualization
Hi. Many times I delete a text and the visualization is not good. I do not know if this is the place to comment on it.

Add a counter symbol similar to the "current page number" marker.
It would be very useful to be able to insert a special character (similar to the "current page number" marker) that makes a digit counter, starting with 1 and then iterating upwards for each time it's inserted.
I know there's a workaround to sort of do this with numbered lists, but that's very limited, especially if you want the counter anywhere except the beginning of a paragraph.
I'm currently working a book that has many images with captions, that ends with the number of the image, like this: "Lorem ipsum dolor… [15]". If "15" where a simple character that counted upwards…

Tighter integration of TypeKit
It seems silly that when you open an InDesign document and it uses TypeKit fonts that aren't available, there is no direct link to take you to the website and fix this.
Firstly, it should just automatically activate the fonts if they're in TypeKit and you haven't already hit your limit.
Secondly, if for some reason this behaviour is undesirable, you should be able to activate them from within InDesign. The process for new/occasional users is actually quite hard: a vague mention of the Creative Cloud app is all you get. Many users don't know what that is. Then you…

Bug
Bug with Bullets & Numbering. When creating a numbered list, and selecting "Start at" under Mode, all the items in the list have that number.
For example, if I have 4 items, and want to start at 3, it should be numbered 3, 4, 5, 6... instead all 4 items are numbered with a 3.

A strange space at the beginning of each line after the first letter.
I occasionally encounter a strange and annoying bug, which sometimes also causes me damage to clients. After the first letter at the beginning of each line, a space is created, and I can not undo the space.
Please solutions

Right to Left direction
In the previous version, I could simply change the paragraph from LTR to RTL but now I have to uninstall all Adobe applications and delete the preferences so I can change the language in Creative Cloud to English Hebrew or English Arabic. Can this turn back to what it was? It was way easier and more user-friendly. All this work for one paragraph when I could previously do it with a click seems just too much.

Removing the 1 point minimum value between tab stops
When setting tab stops next to each other Indesign has a minimum value of 1 point between stops.
This is too much in many cases.
For instance if you want to have hanging quotation marks using tabs this minimum value makes the distance too large in most text sizes.Please let the user define the minimum value freely.

Make “Undeline Options” in the Character panel maintain the last settings.
Please make “Undeline Options” in the Character panel maintain the last settings and apply those to each new underlinining, as opposed to resetting to the default every time. As this makes us users have to go into the Character dropdown for “Undeline Options” and set the distance and with over and over and over and over again ... Yes, applying styles may take care of this problem but I don’t alway bother to create styles for each small project. Thank you!

Strip Newlines from Cross-References and Table of Contents
When taking some headlines that have newlines in them, cross reference also keep inline newlines in the text they output. This can also occur in table of contents.
It would be nice to have a checkbox that would strip newlines from these.
There is also a bug where if a heading's style changes in the middle of the paragraph (I have a box with a smaller heading and then a colon with a subtitle afterwards eg. "Abilities: Learning to Stack Techniques", the text before the colon and the text after have different styles), sometimes the cross reference will output that…

Correction in Dictionary Criteria for Hyphens (Portuguese)
Most of hyphenation in Portuguese splits sylables from two consonants in a row (r-r, s-s Ex: 'car-ro', 'profis-são'), but this is not true for nasal sounds formed with the letter H (lh, nh) and I see myself having to review this hyphenation constantly. For example, the correct hyphenation is 'traba-lho', but inDesign usually hyphenates 'trabal-ho' (which is incorrect). It is a simple addition to the program that could save a lot of reviewing time.
There are some other issues too.
Could you please check that out and review the hyphenation rules as of grammar? Portuguese has quite a bit of…1 vote -

Paragraph adjacent to the previous without indentation
Such a paragraph model exists in some word processors. It's not always convenient to add the same nested styles to a dozen different paragraph styles.
Also, this feature would solve some other problems (for example, you could create a list in one paragraph)

Markierter Text
Seit dem letzten Update reagiert die Tastatur seltsam.
Markiert man in einem gewöhnlichen Texrahmen ein einzelnes Zeichen und schreibt ein neues ist alles wie gewohnt.
Sobald man aber zwei oder mehr Zeichen markiert schreibt InDesign erst beim zweiten Zeichenanschlag. Das erste eingetippte Zeichen wird also immer unterschlagen, sehr nervig!1 vote -

Show Hidden Characters
When you have "Show Hidden Characters" turned on, we don't really need to see the hidden characters of the type that's on the Master Pages.
The reason I'm asking that is that with this option turned on, it interferes with my ability to read small type that's on the Master Pages.
I mean, if I'm looking at a Master Page, sure it could be on, but if I'm looking a the regular pages with that feature turned on, I usually don't need to see those hidden characters of the type that's on the Master Pages.
