Allow Nonprinting to have a keyboard shortcut
Nonprinting should be able to be assigned a keyboard shortcut. It is often used with text variables--if you are manually entering a separate "first on page" header, you don't want that printing, and a shortcut to make it nonprinting would be a time saver.

InDesign Review saving all the versions
I really have to prove that I made (25) revisions but I don't want to make PDFs. Is there a way for InDesign Review app able to save all the versions without 'Saving As' and creating another and sometimes huge memory file?

Reinclude the cutter tool
The cutter tool has not been included as it was in old Pagemaker This tool is very useful. Without this tool, if you import an Autocad drawing, it is not possible to resize the content to the frame. I recommend to include this tool as it was in Pagemaker.

Update the notes feature
We use notes to communicate between editors, designers, and compositors. It would be great if you could filter or sort notes by the user.

aic
Please Make it possible for InDesign to read aic-files, since it is a huge part of working with InDesign to Place ai-files
.
There can be a lot of ways to do that.
The easiest way is just to allow InDesign to open the "gate" to the "cloud-folder" and read it from there, since it is already done from Illustrator and Photoshop.
another way could be th make a "ghost-file" in the local CC-folder that shows a mirror or links to the file from there.And there is possibly a lot of other opportunities aswell.
I just don't understand that…

Please change the cursor back to the black default when the world made sense for design pros.
Please revert back to the action of the toolbar where "V" or the select black cursor is the default. It makes zero sense for the "A" direct select cursor to be the default.

Rework Paragraph menu
Make it more logical:
Indents & Tabs
Alignment & SpacingIndents & Tabs belong together.
Alignment & Spacing are both regarding vertical position.
Also this will make Align to Grid better findable - it's in an unlogical tab now ('Indents and Spacing')1 vote -
Rearranging Pages
It would be helpful to have a way to view multiple spreads at the same time, like a better "click to split the layout view". First off it would save me a lot of scrolling back and forth trying to see other spreads. This could also be a way to make organizing the pages easier. It's hard to rearrange pages of texts from small thumbnail images in a larger document. If this could incorporate an easier workflow for organizing and numbering pages that would be great, to be able to hide a section of pages. I do use multiple documents…

cc libraries window head takes up too much space
There's visually 1.25 inches of functions before the window displays my library items. Can't some of this be combined so I can see more of my library in my precious desktop real estate?
row 1 - breadcrumb nav, invite to library
row 2 - search current library
row 3 - filter, sort options, list/grid view
I'd upload a screen cap, but upload files won't accept png, jpg, or gif...2 votes -
Footnotes: ability to cite multiple references to a footnote, with appropriate tagging for accessibility
Each new instance of a footnote added in InDesign gets a sequential number – but authors and copywriters expect to be able to insert multiple references to the same numbered footnote. For example, a bank might want to put a single asterisk against multiple references to ‘interest rate’, with one corresponding footnote at the end to explain what 'APR', or 'EAR' means. So I’d like a new feature to be added that would, at the point of inserting a footnote, give the option to cite an existing one that’s already in the document. In an exported accessible PDF, there would be…

data merge for interactive elements
Data merge in Indesign works great, but only with text and images. Is it possible to make data merge possible for documents with interactive elements with buttons or hyperlinks for example?

Allow the use of World-Ready composers and Japanese composers in the same document.
Allow the use of World-Ready composers and Japanese composers in the same document so that someone can typeset in every language in the same file. At the moment you have to choose between ME/NA or CJK versions of InDesign.

More functionality and control with form fields
Please add the ability to set leading in form fields. Many clients want to print lines for writing but also have multi-line fillable text fields. It's nearly impossible to create this and have it look good. Would be awesome if form fields used paragraph styles for formatting. Please also allow the designer to change the field highlight color. The default blue isn't ideal for most designs.

Support ID Books!
As a freelancer corralling multiple ID files, many which share Styles, Parent Pages and other elements, or need to output in a certain order as a combined PDF, I have long used the Book function in ID and MANY OF MY CLIENTS DO AS WELL. This feature of InDesign is still bare bones, undeveloped and buggy. It needs attention from developers! Here are my wishes for Adobe InDesign Books:
1) The Book Panel is still bare bones. Simply give it your attention.
2) I want all the fly-out menu options for a book to be available with a secondary click/contextual…
