MacOS27 use smaller corner radius in smaller windows like tab-settings
MacOS 27: Apple has changed the corner radius, but also offers to use a smaller radius (keyboard overview panel) and it seems a non-brainer to implement this in menu items like tabs.

Back/forward buttons to navigate document
I'm often working on a specific page and referencing other pages within the document.
It would be handy to have a back button maybe in the Pages panel to jump back to the previous page viewed.1 vote -
Add a 'Discretionary Page Break'.
When working on a document, paragraphs can break up over pages. To get more control over these page breaks a 'discretionary page break' would be nice: like a discretionary hyphen, this should mark the preferred location for a page break.
Combine with keep options and some extra settings, this could provide a lot of comfort when working on documents in progress.

Tenía una pequeña duda sobre la reserva antes de mi viaje.
Unos días antes de mi viaje, revisé mi reserva y noté algo que quería aclarar. No se trataba de un problema grave, pero no quería dejar el asunto para el último momento y tener que resolverlo en el aeropuerto.
Empecé a buscar información sobre el servicio Air Canada Telefono, ya que quería saber qué opciones de asistencia había disponibles para mi consulta. Antes de hablar con alguien, verifiqué los detalles de mi reserva y reuní toda la información que pudiera necesitar.
Tener a mano el número de reserva, las fechas del viaje y el itinerario facilitó enormemente el proceso. También…

Restore color books
For some reason, I am not able to add one of the preset colourbooks to my files. I had help from an Adobe employee and finally he reached the conclusion individual colours needed to be added one by one. This is insane. I want to be able to access these colour books! Please restore so they can be added to the Swatches window!

Make it possible to Redefine the current selected text to any existing Style
In many cases a restyled text should not redifine the current style, but another (unused/old style) E.g. when creating a subheading from the Plain text style. If there was a Style called 'Subheading' already, it would be nice to let the selected modified plain text directly redifine that 'Subheading' style, in stead of creating a new one, find out the Subheading already exists, delete it etc.

Create an option to for non-sticky paragraph and character styles
Paragraph and Character styles are great, but for new users or in environments where files frequently change hands, they can be hard to teach and manage due to them being 'sticky'. If you select a character style with no text selected, it stays selected and will then be applied to all future text, same for paragraph styles. For experts, this is a feature; for new users it is a bug. The layer panel has "ungroup remembers layers" which is a very obscure setting, could the styles panels please have "Styles are not sticky" added as an option to the fly…

Title Case button (and options) in the Control Panel
After adding the much appreciated Lower Case button in the Control Panel there is an awkward empty space there. It would be great to add the Title Case button there as it is a widely used application of case styling.
Along with the button it would be good to have options for the title case that could be opened with an ALT/OPT-click on the Title case button. This would be great in conjunction with FR https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/37521424-improve-title-case
Having the possibility to exclude certain words from the title case is needed as there are several styles of how to write Title Case: …

Feature Request: Adjustment Layers, Like AfterEffects Adjustment layers
Add an Adjustment Layer feature with user-defined shapes such as rectangles, circles, and custom shapes. Similar to Adjustment Layers in Adobe After Effects, users could apply and control parameters such as blur, hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, and opacity within the defined area.
This would give designers more flexibility to make localized image adjustments directly in InDesign, allowing them to align and fine-tune visuals within layouts without repeatedly switching to Photoshop for minor edits.

mp4 export – create social media post directly from Indesign
In Indesign hat man alles um sinnvoll layouten zu können und sogar die Möglichkeit einfache Animationen einzubauen. Wieso wird der professionelle Workflow nicht verbessert und ein Mp4 Export direkt in Indesign integriert?
Wieso soll ich auf Adobe Express oder Canva ausweichen oder Dritthersteller Workaround-Plugins verwenden, um einfache animierte Social Media Posts zu erstelllen. Animate und After Effects sind viel zu kompliziert um z.B. ein Balkendiagramm schnell zu animieren. Indesign kann es ja bereits nur der Export fehlt.1 vote -
Excluding Nested Styles from Table of Contents
Hi everyone Geometry Dash iSpyWithMyLittleEye
I’m working on a course catalog with a table of contents, but the nested heading styles from the course descriptions are also appearing in the TOC. How can I exclude these nested styles while keeping the main course titles listed?
Thank so much!

Type Menu - Change Case; would be wonderful if it could have Title Case with the option to not capitalize articles etc.
Add a true Title Case option that follows standard publishing capitalization rules (e.g., Chicago), rather than capitalizing every word. Articles, coordinating conjunctions, and appropriate prepositions should remain lowercase, with first/last words and other required words capitalized.

Revision tracking when using Book feature
I often use the Book feature to combine related files into a project. This could be different revisions of an ad for different publications, assets for identity (like business cards, letterhead, envelopes, etc.). This lets me collect and package the files in one folder without duplicating assets like fonts and shared graphics.
If I make a change to a document and save it under a new name the .indb file will retain its link to the now obsolete file. I have to update the Book to use the new version. This I must to for each revision for each file…

Hotkey change for space button [WIN] (Middle Mouse Button to pan around)
Please, after years people demanding this, include a simple option to be able to change or modify the shortcuts for the Space Button (Pan). I for myself would love to add the middle mouse button, like it is in Illustrator to pan around.
It's frustrating, that this company is absolutely not capable of unifying there basic stuff around all porgrams.1 vote -
Allow Paragraph Borders and Shading to Inherit Text Color, Just Like Paragraph Rules
InDesign already allows Paragraph Rules to use Text Color as their color source. I would like the same option to be available for Paragraph Borders and Paragraph Shading.
At the moment, Paragraph Borders and Shading can only use a fixed swatch. This creates unnecessary manual work whenever the text color of individual paragraphs needs to vary while the same paragraph style is retained.
For example, I am currently working on a publication in which many subheadings share the same typography, spacing, and border treatment, but the client wants different colors for different subheadings.
Ideally, I should be able to use…

QR Code Pallet
Qr Codes should have their own Workspace Pallet with at least the same options as the QR Monkey site.
I used to use the PatternMaker plugin for InDesign, and it was so much more convenient to to have that pallet than it is to fumble through the menus every time I need a new one.
Plus, PatternMaker placed the QR Code into an existing image box, so I didn't have to cut/paste the newly made code into the text flow of my 1000 page catalog.

Allow “Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF” to be enabled by default in the Articles panel.
The Articles panel already includes the option “Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF,” but there does not appear to be a way to make this setting enabled by default for new documents.
For accessible PDF workflows, this creates repetitive manual work because the setting has to be turned on for each new file. It also increases the risk that the setting may be missed before exporting a tagged PDF.
Please add a preference or document default that allows users to keep “Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF” enabled automatically for new files.

Ability to create a semicircle shape quickly and easily
One feature I would really like to see added to InDesign is the ability to create a semicircle shape quickly and easily. At the moment, I haven't been able to find a straightforward way to make a perfect semicircle without relying on workarounds, manual adjustments, or creating the shape in another application first.
Having a dedicated semicircle tool or shape option would make the design process much more efficient, especially for layouts, infographics, diagrams, logos, and other projects that frequently require partial circular shapes. While InDesign offers a variety of shape tools and path-editing features, creating a precise semicircle can…
