lowercase icon should match the other text modification icons in the Control Panel
With InDesign 20.4 the option to lowercase text was added. But the icon in the Control Panel differs from the other icons shown there.
Please modify it, maybe like I did in the image attached to this feature request:
red = actual UI
green = better versionOf course the icon team of Adobe will make an even better solution than my simply drawing.

Make it possible to customize context toolbar, or just to remove text to image option
I never need the 'Text to Image' option in the context toolbar, and it's way too easy to click it by mistake. Let users customise the context toolbar.

Persistent Tutorial Pop-ups in InDesign
Dear Technical Support,
I am experiencing persistent issues with Adobe InDesign, where tutorial pop-ups and annotations for new features continue to appear, even after repeatedly clicking the "Skip" button. This behavior is highly irritating and disrupts my workflow. Could you please advise on how to disable these pop-ups?

In InDesign, you cannot directly customize the right-click context menu to add specific commands like 'Corner Options' or 'Relink Image...'
In InDesign, you cannot directly customize the right-click context menu to add specific commands I use often — Object functions like 'Corner Options....' or Links functions like 'Relink Image...'. Customization to the right-click context menu like this would help to increase workflow speed for users.

separations preview - keyboard shortcuts to toggle one channel on and off
At the moment, the separations preview has the ability to toggle ON an individual channel by using a keyboard shortcut e.g. viewing the Cyan channel only can be done by going cmd + opt + shift + 1. Similar shortcuts can be used for the M Y & K channels as well as 5 spot channels, and all 4 process channels at once. However, they only toggle the separation ON. What would be preferable would be the ability to toggle a channel OFF.
Here is a use-case: I'm a finished artist inspecting a magazine layout from my designer. They have…

Customise the context bar
The context bar contains functions that I can access much more quickly via a shortcut, so I don't find it useful.
It would be useful if the context bar functions could be customised.4 votes -

If the lookup is simple and short, you may think it doesn't matter.
But the inner word is a little long, want to modify and need to find half a day.Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be able to freely enlarge the font?

Preserve Preview Checkbox Settings
After upgrades or patches, it would be nice to have the Preview switches in so many various dialog boxes preserved in the ON position.

Add context toolbar to normal workspace
At the moment, the context toolbar can only be fixed in its position WITHIN the document window. So it always overlaps the page I am currently working on. That annoys me.
In Photoshop, you can fix its position above the document window, within the normal toolbar.
I would love to see this position ability in Indesign, too. And to be able to save that as a workspace option.Another issue is that if I switch Indesign to another screen (I am working with two monitors) while working, the context toolbar stays in the screen I used when starting Indesign. I…

How to Win Geometry Dash Lite
Winning in Geometry Dash Lite requires more than quick reflexes—it’s all about rhythm, timing, and persistence. Every level is designed to test your reaction speed and ability to stay calm under pressure. Here’s how you can master it.
Learn the rhythm: Each obstacle follows the beat of the background music. Listening closely helps you anticipate jumps and spikes instead of reacting too late.
Practice in training mode: Use practice mode to memorize tricky sections. Don’t rush—focus on getting the rhythm right before attempting the full level.
Tap lightly and consistently: Over-tapping can ruin your timing. Keep your taps short and…

CMD+CornerRotation unsed, idea: Rotate around anchorpoint
While rotating an object with the default tool (not the rotation tool), the CMD-key is unused.
shift+rotate = rotate in 45° steps
alt+rotate = rotate and make duplicate
shift+alt+rotate = rotate in 45° steps and make duplicatecmd+rotate => rotate around the anchored point
cmd+alt+...
cmd+shift+...
cmd+alt+shift+...You get the idea.

UI for tool panels to have 'fixed' sizes
Please add an option (as it may not be for everyone) to fix the size of the height of the tool panels, regardless of what tab is selected. It drives me mad that it jumps around so much, when selecting a different tab, and that resizes the entire column. Please can it just remain fixed, so all the tabs are where I left them, regardless of what's selected? The screenshots aren't even the worst that I've had, it's just two seconds of flicking through different tabs and seeing how they're all affected

Make Paste Remembers Layers the Default
Make 'Paste Remembers Layers' the default. By default this is an option that must be selected, but this should be the default behavior. You will note the number of suggestions on this very forum for this feature that already exists. There is never going to be an occasion under which I do not want to paste to the original layer, and I often want to copy and paste multiple objects on different layers. However, this feature is well hidden in the layers panel menu options, disabled by default. Moreover 'Paste in Place' should likewise be the default. When would it…

Bookmarking files on home screen
I'm often working on 10+ projects and probably 20+ files in Indesign at a time. Whenever I restart the computer or switch between projects, it takes time to navigate to the folder where I've saved the project and look at various collateral involved with the project as well as open the Indesign file.
It would be great to have another section on the home screen under the Recent files to have Bookmark files. The logical place to put the bookmark function would be in the Files menu when you have the file open, but you can also put a shortcut…1 vote -

Please Add Option to Remove Individual Files from Recent List on Welcome Screen
Message:
Hi Adobe team,
In the latest versions of InDesign, it seems the ability to right-click and remove individual files from the “Recent” list on the Welcome screen has been removed or is no longer available. This feature was incredibly useful for keeping the workspace clean and organized — especially when dealing with outdated or duplicate files.
I would love to see this functionality restored or improved with a visible “Remove from Recent” option for each file, similar to what’s available in Illustrator and Photoshop.

Give a Direction: Forward/Backward option in the Find/Change panel for Color
The Text option for Find/Change has the option to cycle through the results in the opposite direction. This would be VERY helpful to have on the colour option as well, I have no idea why it would be available for text but not colour, it's the same function?
