Show warning if you try to spellcheck checked-in text
If you spellcheck a text which is checked in no changes will be made. You only get the information that 0 changes were made. This behaviour may be logically correct, but it i user-unfriendly.
Please inform the user that he/she is spell-checking a checked-in text. Plus: Allow him/her at this point to check out the text.5 votes -

Ability to assign a shortcut to [None] in the Character Styles window.
Because you sometimes want to REMOVE a character style and it would be very beneficial to be able to use a shortcut for that as well.

Mark to Mark Kerning & Positioning
Dear Adobe, you should really introduce mark to mark Kerning and Positioning in CC. These features are really crucial in resolving a lot of issues in Indic type design and it's dismal that none of the Adobe software support it. Apple's basic applications like PAGES supports it but not InDesign which is literally sad.

Allow for social media glyphs to behave as characters in hyphenation and linebreaks
With social media references in almost every document, InDesign seems to break social media handles awkwardly , notably with the @-sign and the #-sign. For example, a sentence that includes a Twitter handle will oftentimes break between the @ and the actual handle name:
blah blah blah blah blah lorem ipsum blah blah send us a tweet now! @
adobeindesign is our name.Same thing with hashtags.

Define word count when filling placeholder text
When creating documents waiting on content to be supplied, would be great to be able to define number of words or paragraphs for placeholder text to help accurately identify space that may be required.

Create paragraph style from manual formatting and apply to all text with the same formatting
A common task is converting manual text formatting to a paragraph style. It would be great if there were a way to do this automatically.
For example, suppose I was given a LONG document in which Helvetica 12pt text is the body style, but no actual paragraph style exists for this—all the formatting is manual.
The current best way to solve this problem is to perform a Find/Change operation for all text formatted as Helvetica 12pt and replace it with my paragraph style for "body text." This works but is tedious, especially when there are many styles in the document,…

Allow bullets and numbers to hang outside of the text frame
There is currently no way to make a bullet or number hang outside of a text frame properly. The "optical margin alignment" feature control is iffy at best.
Attached are two photos that show what I mean.
In the first example, the "Correct" green bullets are not achievable in InDesign unless every other paragraph except for the bulleted paragraph has an additional positive left indent on all of its lines. It would be so much easier if we could just add a negative left indent to the first line of the bulleted paragraphs.
In the second example, a document that…

Non-uniform spacing AND rounded corners
I would love to be able to set the inset spacing of top, bottom, left and right independent of one another in a text box that has rounded corners. My current work around is to have multiple boxes-one with a rounded corner and another with text. If it were all apart of one box, it would make my workflow faster and all of the boxes would be uniform and easier to make changes to.

Functionality to edit story order for InCopy and ADA reading order
We update documents several times a year and have just started using InCopy. It would be beneficial to have the ability to control the story order to match your layout. This could be utilized to sync the order when viewing in the story editor mode (especially in InCopy) and additional functionality to pair with Acrobat when setting up ADA compatible file reading order which we do on every file.

Rättelser
När man ska göra rättelser med textverktyget är inte funktionen optimal.
Först brukar man ju markera det som ska ändras och sedan skriva in ändringen. Det jag har problem med är att man måste trycka två gånger på första bokstaven som ska ändras vilket är mycket frustrerande och lätt innebär att det blir fel i texten.
Varför fungerar inte verktyget så att man markerar och så skriver man in ändringen som man gör i andra program.1 vote -
monospaced fonts! the ability to make any font a monospaced font (especially for numbers so phone numbers line up on business cards)

Pixel instead of point sizes for type in a web layout
We would like to be able to measure the type size in indesign as pixels rather than points, when we choose a web layout. The same way that the document size is measured in pixels instead of mm. Thanks!

Slant button to create faux italics
A one-click button to slant text and create faux italics.
Yes, the resulting text won't be real italics. Yes, typographic snobs will look down on InDesign and on you as a designer for using it.
But on projects were it doesn't matter, we get one-button access to make our clients happy and move onto projects where it real italics do matter.
I remember a time when this button was in InDesign, for the love of god, please bring it back.

Uncheck Shared Hyperlink Destination by default
In the panel 'New Hyperlink' the box 'Shared Hyperlink Destination' is by default checked. I always (must) uncheck it. Two questions: can I reset these default-settings somewhere. (I think not - but I'll like to do that). There is no possibility to put this check on/off under a shortcut. That should be nice for automation-purpose.
