The term »forced line brake« has been wrongly translated to German quite a while ago. There exist two terms in German for the »forced line break« that lead to confusion among users because they are used interchangeably.

One is (translated) »hard line brake« the other one »soft line brake«. But what in a line break is soft or hard? This makes no sense at all.

It would be great to just use the literal translation of the English term which is »Erzwungener Zeilenumbruch« (SHIFT + Return).

Please find attached instances of the use in the German UI. Thanks!

It would be amazing if you add Open Current File Location under the "File" dropdown.

It is a really minor thing, but it would significantly impact productivity.

Hello,

I’ve updated InDesign to the newest version 15.0 (InDesign CC 2020) on OS X.
And some buttons in the top window border are missing like the percent and the GPU rocket.

Is it possible to put these back?! Or do I have to change it anywhere in the menu? Can’t find it.

Best
Sascha

I am a Korean user.
The menu and description is well displayed in Korean.
But why does the Japanese Hiragana 'あ' appear on the letter ratio icon and the lettering icon?
Does Chinese users see that icon too?

It seems that CJK version is using icons together while localizing.
If Adobe respects each country's culture, I would like to change that icon to suit each country.
(ex: '가' for Korean users)
If that's difficult, I'd like to mark it with the alphabet 'A'.

In dialog boxes, pressing the tab key should only navigate between text fields. It used to do this. Now it navigates through every field, button and popup menu. There is a system keyboard setting that regulates this. InDesign now ignores this setting.

For example, in the New Document box, press the tab key repeatedly and it goes:

Facing Pages > Start Page # > Primary Text Frame > Page Size > Width ...and so on.

It should only go:

Start Page # > Width ...all those other buttons etc should be skipped.

An option to revert to the old, more compact and efficient "New Document" window.

There are 8,342 awesome ideas of additions and updates for InDesign on this site, yet someone took the time to make this new interface... If you have used InDesign for more than 1 day you don't need this. It is huge, and inefficient. There used to be an option to revert to this style but it is gone now.

Efficiency is KING in InDesign. If we wanted a clunky, chunky UI we could use a Microsoft product ;-)

Thanks!

Editing the layer visibility of a linked graphic in InDesign causes the zoom level to be automatically adjusted to fit-to-page. This makes it difficult to see the preview image for small graphics that may be hard to see at the full page zoom level.

If any automatic zoom adjustment is to be made at all (which it should not) it should be to fit the graphic to the window so you can see what you are doing.

The iPad Pro has the M1 chip now. Why not have InDesign for iPad? Now that iPads have the same hardware as Macs there's no reason not to have one app that works on both.

Currently when scrolling with the mouse-wheel/trackpad etc, InDesign seems to apply the same amount of scrolling regardless of the level of zoom in the document. This means that a very small scroll gesture, when zoomed in close on a page, causes the document move too far, making scrolling and panning very difficult at high zoom levels.

It would be great if the scroll amount would scale with the level of zoom, so that a small scroll gesture used at a high level of magnification would only result in a small scroll/pan amount.

When designing, the inverted selected text is disturbing. Please add a shortcut to switch it off temporarily (like in Ae and Ai).

In the Preferences dialog box, please indicate which preferences only apply to the current document. See this article for more details: https://indesignsecrets.com/visual-guide-indesign-preferences.php

Have your Workspace for all Adobe applications saved in your CC account. Like many others, I work off and sign into more than 1 computer (3 in my case). It would be great if I'm signed-in and can see my saved workspace already allocated in the application. Instead of re-tweaking my Workspace manually on every device.

Computers crash, major updates happen, and every-time we lose our settings, just a nice addition to add for the users.

Thanks so much, keep up the good work.

For example, if I click on Font Size when it says 10 pt, it should automatically drop the 'pt' before I start typing. Retyping the value is always faster than trying to move the insertion point and highlighting only the numbers to avoid getting an "invalid value" message because you accidentally typed over the 'p' in 'pt'. Else you have to always double-click the field, but sometimes that fails to highlight everything for one reason or another. There's no real use case for leaving the unit in the box when entering a value I've ever encountered.

You have to open the Layer Panel to check what layer you're working on. It would be a time saver if the active layer is mentioned somewhere else in the UI.

Please enable the click and hold of the mouse spin wheel to pan around the layout, like in Illustrator.

Please Please Please!

thanks! it will be much easier for my eyes since right now, the buttons are quite small for me!

there is missing a context menu (right mouse click) in the bookmarks panel ("Lesezeichen"), e.g. with the menu entry "rename"
