Please, make the Indesign Editor side-scrollable using the Laptop Touchpad on Windows 10
The current Indesign Editor can be scrolled vertically, but it does not allow horizontal scrolling using the Laptop Touchpad on Windows 10.
It would be good feature to have.

Styles UI needs to keep up with the times
Styles are implemented in InDesign since... well, for ever. The options and settings grew a lot over the years BUT it still looks and feels the same. Old and unflexible. There is a styles window with your collected styles and to edit those you have your Style Options window. Basically that´s it.
Practically that means you have to open each style individually, make your changes individually (although you want equally changes), check if design and layout still works, edit each style... again... individually.
Please find a way to improve working/handling styles e.g. for collective changes or simultaneously opening multiple Style…

Zoom box in Pages Window
I would like to see in CC InDesign the ability to see where you're zoomed in at in your pages window. Also, I'd like to be able to click and hold onto the highlight zoomed in the area on the pages window and move it to update the preview when I let go of the highlighted zoom box.
This would be helpful for us users that create large catalogs and would like to quickly JUMP-TO a portion of a page. With large catalog files, the program can get sluggish/slow. When the user has to scroll through a bunch of pages…

Showing open book files on Start workspace
Situation now:
When opening a book file Indesign adds a book panel showing all contained documents. You can then open documents through this panel. I usually dock the panel to the right with my other panels to keep the workspace tight and clean.But now the tricky part:
When I close all documents I've set Indesign to return to the Start workspace. This shift to another workspace makes the book panel disappear as well (since it is docked with the other panels). I have to go to the menus to find the panel again.
I guess the reason for this…4 votes -
Background tasks and glyphs panel width matching other panels
I would love to be able to incorporate the Background tasks and glyphs panel width to my other panels.
These panels are too wide and so cannot be included in my sidebar

Please fix menu overlap on fly out pages' window
Wasn't sure if I should call this a bug or if it is by design, however, please fix the overlapping of the page indicator/tools on the pages' fly out menu. It overlaps when you have the window be its narrowest.
When this happens I am unable to use the tools (e.g. deleting a page by dragging over the trash icon)4 votes -

Not truncating filenames in window when relinking
I'd say this is self explanatory and has always been a bug bear to me.

Jump to page 1 = just go to first page already
If my document is numbered pages 43 to 59, for example, and I press Command -J and enter "1" for "Go to page:" PLEASE just take me to the first page in the document! Is that too much to ask? ;-)

One desktop for all pages instead of desktops for each seperate page/spread
When copying asset(s) to the desktop you always have to search on wich pages you copied that asset(s). When all pages are on the same desktop, the copied assets are more easy to find, because they are always on one desktop.

Make the layers right hand side squares bigger!
Hi, might just be me, but the little squares to denote in which layer an object is in is too small, or not very co-operative.
If I need to move something from one layer to another, I find it really difficult to hit the target right to move the item, the square is too small.I am not blind, its just the one element of the UI that I constantly don't get a positive result from first time, normally takes 3 attempts!

Buttons and forms (Interactive) panel needs revamping
The panel is barely usable in it's current form for anything more than a few buttons per page due to not being able to increase the height and width of the panel, especially the visibility section when a button is highlighted. At the bare minimum this needs to be resizable so that more can be seen so that linking and adjusting the on/off states of buttons can be performed more easily.
Ideally, the panel needs an overhaul so that multiple buttons can be shift+selected so that they can be set to be called before being visible by default, or switched…

Option to group and\or collapse pages
We should be able to group pages and collapse them, for a cleaner more organized flow.
My use case - I'm working on a book (not using the "create book" option since it's exteremly flawed) that has an intro of 50 pages.
I'm done designing those 50 pages, and now I want to "forget" about them and collapse them, so I can focus on other pages, and also get to them quicker without needing to scroll through all those pages.This could be done by grouping the intro and having the option to collapse it, or by adding the collapse…

It is very troublesome to select fonts
It is very troublesome to select fonts from a list when managing a large number of fonts. Also, even when selecting font names by typing, it is difficult to select candidates if there is a typing error.
Please create a modern font selection feature.3 votes -
grid edit quick access from properties panel
alt+doubleclick is learned behaviour to edit links, for example. I would love to see this work on the properties panel, esp to tweak the grid settings, internally llinking to the preferences UI. That would save a lot of time and be quite simple to implement.
I use about 2/3 of the CC products regularly and the heterogeneous ui functionality drives me batty. in psd i click on the number and drag, in ai it takes three clicks to do the same. WHY?!?

Turn off preflight by default
Since we work via Internet-connection, working with longer documents is a mess because after every move you make, the preflight check starts over and over again. The bigger the document, the longer it takes until you can finally start working again.
I would like to have the opportunity to have preflight turned off by default. Only when I need it, I would like to turn on preflight.
