Getting over it
Challenging Gameplay
Getting Over It is a difficult physics-based climbing game that puts your patience, concentration, and coordination to the test. You control a character sitting inside a large metal pot and use a hammer as your only tool for movement. Instead of walking or jumping normally, you must carefully swing the hammer around the environment to push yourself upward. The unusual movement system makes even simple sections surprisingly challenging, while a single mistake can send you falling back to an area you have already completed.

Typelock/Copyguard: Protect textfields from textual input. for safer use of keyboard shortcuts
Nobody want's typo's and as a designer I don't want to be responsible for making them after the client send me their final copy.
So, a big quality of life feature would be if I could protect textfields from textual input, yet they are still moveable, sizeable, scaleable , etc.
Usecase: You just resolved all textual feedback and now want to finish the design of the magazine. The fastest way to work is to use keyboards shortcuts, but there is a risk of accidentally type instead of changing a tool.In short:

Add context menu for recent files on home/start screen with option for Reveal in Finder
When a document is open, its tab gets the attached right-click context menu, but on the InDesign home screen, the Recent files shown don't have any context menu at all.
These items should have context menus, with the Reveal In Finder option at least to avoid needing to load the whole document from my network drive just to find it on disk.
This would also seemingly be a sensible place to put the "Remove From Recent" option that has been requested multiple times by other users.

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…

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…

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!

Align to the Top & Bottom of a Text Frame in InDesign [Smart Paragraph Styles]
Hi everyone geometry vibes
I’m working on an InDesign layout and want to align text precisely to the top or bottom of a text frame while keeping the formatting flexible.
Does anyone have a good workflow for achieving this with Smart Paragraph Styles? I’m especially interested in a method that works consistently when the text length changes.
Any tips, settings, or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

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.
Current InDesign Title Case = Across The Ages
Actual title case = Across the Ages1 vote -
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.
