Working with multiple files - When a file is closed, rather than skipping to the last file, got to the next file in order
Description:
I have multiple files open at once.
When finished working on the first, if I close it, InDesign will skip to the last file that was opened, rather the next file in the order.
See attached - I closed “untitled 1” and it skipped to “untitled 5” rather than going to “untitled 2” which is next in line.
Why this would be valuable:
This interrupts an expected workflow to InDesign's usual left to right UI direction.
InDesign allows users to reorder the file tabs to suit their needs. Skipping to the end file in unexpected behaviour and switching back…

User-definable colors for highlighting H&J Violations
With checked Preferences / Composition / Highlight H&J Violations, the default colors for highlighting them (against paper background) are yellow and violet, plus some shades of them. As I seem to have some trouble in visually identifying those colors when present as light shades, I’d like to be able to modify them in order to work better for me. Thank you :-)

Asset Link: Lower asset update time
We would like to lower the asset update time. Actually, I needs 3 minutes for wait before asset link is recognizing an asset update from AEM Assets (DAM).

Please standardize key commands between the Adobe apps, specifically Indesign and Photoshop
type layer commit in PS: Cmd Enter
type layer commit in InDesign: esc
(the above is maddening, since in PS, esc undoes everything in the type layer)scaling images in PS: with latest update, no need to hold Shift to scale proportionately
scaling in Indesign: you must hold Shift to scale proportionatelyI'm sure there are others but these 2 are my personal grievances.

When saving a file, have the cursor default to before the ".indd" suffix.
This used to be the case a few years ago. not sure if this is an apple ox issue or adobe.
When saving a file, have the cursor default to before the ".indd" suffix, so it's quicker to rename files.

Add shortcut or button to bottom of links palette for Collapse Multiple Links...
Please add a keyboard shortcut or a button to the bottom of the links panel for the panel option "Collapse Multiple Links to Same Source". I have to toggle this on and off often and would like an easier way to get to this option. Thank you.

Make Layer Options work logically
In Layer Options we have the choice to Show the layer and/or Print the layer.
But when Print is unchecked, the layers doen's show either.Please make it possible to Show a layer, but don't print it. This comes in handy for guides / instructions or e.g. to visualize the window of an enveloppe.

Migrate Workspaces On App Updates
ALWAYS migrate user workspaces when an app is updated.
It is SO FRUSTRATING to be on a tight deadline and have your UI blow up because Adobe pushed a version update without migrating over your workspace settings.
There is no point in having savable user workspaces if they all disappear every time you update the application.

Please let apps remember dialog box size & position
Please make CC-apps aware of user display setups and changes, single or multiple screen resolutions. Hunting for them acress multiple screens, repositioning and resizing them each time is needlessly cumbersome and time consuming!
Default:
– in case of multiple screen setup: main screen (as specified in OS display preferences), centered.
– in case of single screen: centeredUser settings
– record and store user changes to dialog box sizes and positions with current screen setup. Store setups in prefs file.
– make CC app recognize changes in multiple screen real-estate and store and recall users dialog box positions from this…

text anchor symbol easier to see
Double the diameter of the dots in the blue colon symbol used to represent a text anchor. Very hard to see compared with other symbols when "Show Hidden Characters" is turned on. And maybe move them a bit to the left so they're further from the beginning of the text anchor.

One language for the app interface, another for the shortkeys
It would be G R E A T if you could install the english version of InDesign, but use shortcuts for a non english keyboard, since many of the english shortcuts don't work when you use a non english keyboard.
This is actually a problem in all Adobe apps and not just InDesign.
Please don't tell me to switch to ENG in Windows 10 since I want to be able to type in swedish...
And don't tell me to manually go through all shortcuts and change them one by one. I shouldn't have to do that every time I install…

Align operations on selected anchorpoints from different frames
When selection a series of individual anchorpoints from different frames, I would like to be able to perform operations from the align-window (like distribute centers). Thus making it possible to shape a series of frames in one go. I.e. when you would want an angled side to a series of frames.
