Conditional no-break in character styles
I want an option to make no-break in character style, but if it's impossible to keep text in frame, breaking would be possible.
For example, usually I don't want to break a hyperlink in text and if I make it no breaking, very long URL's makes it impossible to keep text running in text frames.
I think there is a workaround with GREP's but that's not really solid solution for this.4 votes -
Book numbering options in one panel
Please streamline book numbering options into one panel. It's beyond aggravating to go from Layout -> Numbering & Section Options, then to the Book Panel -> Update Numbering and fumble around with that until you get it right. If the suggested panel had a "Preview" box as well, you could preview your changes until you get your desired result.

Find/change return to where you started, like Word
When you're done Find/Replace, InDesign leaves you at the last occurrence, and you have to navigate to where you started. In Word, most of the time the screen returns to where you started, saving you time. Any chance of adding this to InD?

Cover page for printing book should have their own setup by default to reduce confusion
I having issue seriously with page numbers. If its 38pp but in my pages box, shows 34pp example. Why do i need to get confused here?
I think indesign perhaps should have an option where I can right click and say page 1 and 2 is the cover, than the last two page is also a cover. Page number doesnt change, instead, right click and select it as book covers and boomz.
So confusing when i exported it shows 34pp in pdf preview, and indesign shows 32pp. So yeah. That could be one feature adobe team can seriously look into.…

Option to recognise different paragraph styles as the really part of the same style
When creating multi-level lists you need to use different paragraph styles. This creates a problem where the spacing you want at the end of the whole list and the start of a new paragraph is applied when you are in the middle of different levels of the list.
I am thinking a little checkbox next to the 'Based on' paragraph style section in the 'General' tab of the paragraph style settings window that allows you to link the new style as a child of the top-level style.
This way, those end of paragraph spacings won't be applied to the child…1 vote -
add a "Buttons" list in the buttons and forms palette
When creating interactive PDFs, it would be great to have a place where I can access buttons already created without having to click through objects on my page to find out what button was created to do what. (I have some documents that require multitudes of button objects) I'd love to see a place where I can discern if a "button" is an object being used to hide/show another object or is the object BEING shown/hid. Also, having multiple interactive elements on a page seems to "crash" my docs or cause all sorts of weird issues when viewed. Is there…

Make Arrowheads features same as Illustrator.
Why the control is the same, but result different for this Arrowhead feature from InDesign to Illustrator. I want to scale down arrowheads, but couldn't. Workaround is nice but why? when the Illustrator control works perfectly.

Show accented letters with alternate glyphs
When finding a letter with an accent, currently you have to search the glyphs panel, maybe narrowing it down with the dropdown, or paste it in. What would be great would be if the accented versions of letters (e.g. è, é, ê, ë) showed underneath the alternate glyphs when a letter was selected. Even if it was only the major accents showed, this would save a lot of time. It would probably be best as an option that can be turned on or off.

Text "before" and "after" user-definded variables
Text variables
For "User defined text" also allow to define "Text before..." and "Text after..." as it is possible for the predefined variables (like "Output date").
We often need pre- and post-text for self-defined variables2 votes -
Improve Screen Display Quality - 4K Related
I've recently upgraded to a 4K monitor. When working on InDesign documents, the type is not "sharp". I am running in the High Quality Display setting, the text and graphics are not sharp. If I run the display driver at 150% this problem exists, if I run at 100%, the type and graphics are very sharp - as expected. So this is a Windows related issue.
Could the 150% magnification be ignored for the page display, but remain for the toolbars, etc.
I have "old" eyes from too much time in front of these monitors!
Thanks

Work in Whole Pixels (Snap to Pixel Grid)
When working in a document whose intent is Web or Mobile it would be great if InDesign had an option to force users to work in whole pixels.
Not to be confused with InDesign's "Snap to Document Grid", what I am thinking is something more like Photoshop's behaviour when your Preferences -> Tools has "Snap Vector Tools and Transforms to Pixel Grid" selected.
The outcome would be that you could never have a page item with floating point values.

Expand the custom marks (.mrk) usability and documentation.
We are able to create custom marks files (.mrk) but I have not found much documentation. Detailed documentation would go a long way especially with a few examples. I would also like an easier way to create these files without so much trial an error (GUI).
I would like to create black only registration, page info and crop marks. Additionally, the ability to adjust spread pages fold marks offset and the ability to create center lines on the pages in the bleed area would be great.

Condition also for graphics instead of text only
Make it also possible, to show or hide Graphic Elements and Logos according to "Text Conditions". So it would be possible, to make one Template for Merge and set the content in 2 Languages with different Logos or Graphics.

The ability to have space before/after not add up
When two paragraphs with different paragraph styles with differing 'space before/after' settings are below each other, InDesign adds the 'space after' and 'space before' together. It would be nice if you could optionally set in the paragraph style that these values are not added together, so that only the highest value is honoured.

import image direct form google Pinterest
Hi, I make al lot off style sheets in inDesign, also moodboards. Normally I import the image directly from google or Pinterest. But right now this does not work any more. I'm importing the text page of the image, so now I have to save all the files and then I can import them in my file. Help it will save a lot of time for me :)
