Option to add hidden character on/off button the toolbar
Just a little toggle button on the toolbar so you don't have to click Type > Show/Hide Hidden Characters, for those of us who turn it on and off repeatedly. I swear an older version had it.

arabic support
Add support for toggling right-to-left text in all versions of InDesign.
Do not hide/remove/restrict it for users who don't use an african/middle-eastern language version of the program. Having to install multiple InDesign-versions depending on what document you work with is stilly. Is there any reason for this at all?
We have designers that occasionally have to set documents translated to Arabic. Right now this is near-impossible as we use an English version of InDesign.
It appears the support is there "under the hood" and you have just hidden it in the UI, since I can get "right-to-left" paragraph settings in…

Add additional interactive options to the buttons and forms panel
The buttons and forms panel (used for making interactive form elements for PDF) is missing several options that are available in Acrobat such as:
* insert image button
* insert date button
* insert barcode buttonThere was a request to do this but it was marked FIXED and (in my humble opinion) is far from fixed - https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/20482882-more-options-when-creating-forms-via-indesign

Remove the page "drop shadow"
Remove the page "drop shadow". It's confusing to see the thicker black border on the right and bottom of the page. Is it a locked element? No, it's part of the UI! Why? What is it trying to be?

Keyboard shortcut to adjust paragraph indents
I'd like to be able to quickly adjust the left, right, first and last line indents of my paragraph using a Quick Apply or a custom keyboard shortcut.
I find it strange that it doesn't already exist, given the countless other basic adjustments available in the shortcuts panel.

Locking Tab Bar
It would be really helpful if the user had the ability to lock the tabs bar under the rulers in inDesign. It's an annoyance to have it floating and having to re-open it constantly. It would be nice to have the tabs panel located right underneath the ruler and then give the option to hide it or show it.

Option to set Overprint at 0 % color value
I would like to be able to set objects which are colored with 0% color value(halftone) to overprint.
I need this function for example to color objects with the color varnish and to get correct color separations. Because everything that is colored with varnish should overprint.
Until now I correct this in the PDF I export from Indesign. But it would be desirable if this setting could already be made in Indesign.

Custom Signature Sizes
We desperately need to be able to create custom signature sizes for 2-up Perfect Bound booklets. Right now the only options are 4, 8, 12, 16, and 32, which is extremely limiting. Adding blank pages to fill out extra signatures is a garbage work around leading to an unprofessional product.

Give one-sided versus two-sided option in print dialog box
Most software allows me to select one-sided versus two-sided printing in the print dialog box. Indesign requires that I go into the printer setup to make that change.

Include The Page / Spread Geometric Bounds When Generating InDesign Snippets
We are parsing InDesign Snippets that are dragged and dropped onto our application.
Part of this process involves us translating the page item coordinates so that 0,0 is top left.
With the metadata contained in the snippet, it is not possible to perform this translation accurately since the snippet doesn't tell us the dimensions of the spread / page it belonged to.
We partially work around this limitation today by having a page item that is the full bounds of the page which is dragged and dropped along with the other page items. However, would prefer to have something more…

swatches, color, and gradient panels like illustrator
Illustrator has the easiest to use and most powerful swatches, color, and gradient panels. Indesign would be a much better experience if it just used them. Just make them exactly the same.

Windows Could Not Automatically Detect This Networks Proxy Settings
There are a big number of users who face network issues in windows 10. A prompt shows up as ‘Windows couldn't automatically detect network’s proxy settings’ on the taskbar. The error although isn't something that's specific to any particular build. Corrupt system files most of the time plays the villain.For More Info:https://techtreme.com/windows-cant-automatically-detect-network-proxy-settings

Ability to make frame handles larger
Ability to make frame handles larger to enable better user experience when adjusting boxes using a touch screen. They are too small at the moment for accurate grabbing.
