Harmonize size of curve handles and object handles as part of UI scaling
The UI scaling is a nice add in 2022. Thank you! But the handles for curves are still tiny relative to the object handles. Can we harmonize?

Have a repository of InDesign experts to help beginners accelerate their project
In the Help menu, it would be nice to have one item where it says: Hire Help
Here is the rationale:
I'm stuck with this one project and I don't know who to ask questions ouside the usual "Hire a virtual assistant".
What I mean is this: why would I go outside the the InDesign Help ecosystem to get help?
If there was a pool of legal professional users of InDesign, I would be the first one to use it.1 vote -
hyperlink destination
There should be a panel where I can see all of the hyperlink destinations I've created. And they should be clickable to test whether they are still working properly. Hyperlinks show up in the hyperlinks panel, but in-document destinations (used for cross references) cannot be tested without exporting to a test document. Nor can I see a list of them outside the drop-down within the xrefs panel.

Indesign Thumbnails for Windows Explorer
Hi Adobe!
I recently switched from CorelDRAW to Adobe, and the "No Thumbnails for explorer" drives me nuts.
Adobe seems to be trying to force us to use Bridge instead of Windows Explorer, but I'm not interested in using BR, I want to see my files directly in Explorer.
Please fix this issue!
See my post here:

Name of the image near the link icon
Near the link icon, add the option "show/hide file name (and or extension)".
This will help when you have a catalog with 1200 products and in order to get the SKU and Color to fill the caption, you must click the image, then return to the text tool.
I know there's ways to auto input the name of the image. But sometimes the image contain other Information not important.

Scrubby Sliders for Everything Like Photoshop
In Photoshop, every scalable feature (opacity, text size, feather radius, etc) is a slider if you click and drag on the name of the adjustment. This is particularly useful for (large) font size. In Photoshop, you can live preview your text size by sliding, while InDesign you have to either arrow key or type numbers to preview. At the very least, make the font size drop down go above 72 pt like Figma!

If short form for the unit Points is "pkt" in could "pt" be accepted as alias instead of giving error message?
In Swedish version of InDesign (and other Adobe Apps) to enter a unit in points we must type "pkt" where I believe most languages accept "pt". It would be a better experience for the user if the software would accept either "pt" or "pkt", especially if teaching a class where there are users with different language versions following the same instructions. There is no point in receiving an error that an invalid unit has been entered if the intent is clear, and unambiguous.
Please change so that either pt or pkt can be entered as unit, that the unit is…

Hide Extra's / Selection Edges / Anchor points etc.
When manipulating colors of a selected Object, the color of the Handles etc. distracts from judging the color changes.
Please add a shortcut to hide all but the artwork itself (like in Ai and Ae)1 vote -

Let InDesign remember the last chosen size of the app window on screen.
Like many people I work on a very large screen, and I have to refit the extend of the window every time I start InDesign. I think the problem is the same across most of your apps. Windows 10 btw.2 votes -
インデザイン 、イラレに関して。
画像のリンクが埋め込まれているか、アプリを起動してファイルを開かなくても分かるようにしてほしいです。作業終了後リンク切れしないか確認するとき、立ち上げる動作が少し面倒に感じています。

language
No new idea but having the ability to change the language of interface could make InDesign more usable. Please give us that ability without having to uninstall and reinstall the application to change the language.

Handling hundreds of links per page
When an index or end reference pages (normally jumps to pages) have hundreds of links then opening and closing the link dialogue box is a bit of a slowdown. There should be a live toolbar/dialogue box that can update live as you select each link (an overlay box normally used). This way you could drop boxes on top of each page number/chapter, then quickly hop from one to the next and change each one.

Hover over panels to expand them and let them collapse automatically
Hi
When working on a single (and small) monitor setup I am constantly collapsing and moving the panels of Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator because that specific panel is hidden behind another expanded panel.This should fix that problem and should save me multiple clicks:
The option to expand panels when hovering over the panel's icon and auto-collapse them when the mouse leaves the expanded panel. The workspace stays clean that way and I don't need to constantly close unused panels.2 votes -

Application Menu Search (Windows)
I know this is an operating system thing, but after switching to Windows from Mac, I'm missing the search bar under the Help menu. I made a suggestion on the Windows Feedback Hub, but it doesn't seem to be getting much traction there. Unless I'm missing something, there's got to be others of you missing this functionality. Here's a link to my Windows Feedback Hub request. Go there and upvote! https://aka.ms/AAdvidk
