CC Library Keyboard Shortcuts, or TextExpander feature
CC Libraries exist to make it fast to add pre-built content to an INDD. Text does not have a quick way of placing inline - you must right click and click place content. Annoying when doing hundreds of times.
Two solutions:
1. Right clicking on a library element should have "keyboard shortcut" adjacent "rename". When a keyboard shortcut is added, show that shortcut on the right side of the element in the CC Library panel.
2. Add 'text expander' feature. Right click on a text library element and have option for 'expand text on...' where a unique phrase can be…5 votes -
Annoying dialogs, option to “don’t show again”...
Is there some universal way to turn off unnecessary dialogs?
For example when I click to publish a document for online, I get an annoying dialog that says "Are you sure you want to update..." (see attached).
Why is this dialog necessary? I can just re-publish if there was some mistake. It just slows things down. Some dialogs like this do have a "don't show me this again" option, but not here... why?
In general, I find the plethora of "Do you really want to..." dialogs disruptive and unnecessary. Except for something critical, or something you can't undo, why do…

Load Master Pages the same as Paragraph and Character Styles
Load Master Page options should be same as Loading Paragraph/Character Styles, with options to choose which Master you want to load/overwrite. I have documents with multiple Masters, but I may just want to update one of them. In current state, I have to load all Masters from another document, which forces unwanted changes to the other Master Pages that did not require updating.

Functionality to edit story order for InCopy and ADA reading order
We update documents several times a year and have just started using InCopy. It would be beneficial to have the ability to control the story order to match your layout. This could be utilized to sync the order when viewing in the story editor mode (especially in InCopy) and additional functionality to pair with Acrobat when setting up ADA compatible file reading order which we do on every file.

Pixel instead of point sizes for type in a web layout
We would like to be able to measure the type size in indesign as pixels rather than points, when we choose a web layout. The same way that the document size is measured in pixels instead of mm. Thanks!

Uncheck Shared Hyperlink Destination by default
In the panel 'New Hyperlink' the box 'Shared Hyperlink Destination' is by default checked. I always (must) uncheck it. Two questions: can I reset these default-settings somewhere. (I think not - but I'll like to do that). There is no possibility to put this check on/off under a shortcut. That should be nice for automation-purpose.

links on shares broken - Mac/Windows
If you link assets from a server-share on an Windows-PC and open the InDesign-file on a Mac, the links are maintained (if you work with links in UNC style: file://server/share/path/to/image.jpg; mapped shares don't work).
In the other direction (Mac -> Windows) the links are broken. Would be nice if it would work also in this direction.5 votes -

Vertical tabs (for better vertical justification in/between para spacing)
There are already similar requests for a fix for the Vertical Justification problem & I'm dealing with this at the moment: several paragraphs & needing the bottom-most para (a 2-line inline table) to appear on the bottom line of the text frame. I have spent so many hours & tried setting it in a table (amongst other things) but, really, it makes more work & I need a Paragraph Border at the sides as a column rule - which was great in a table but which doesn't seem to work on the bottom table paragraph. I'd prefer it as non-table…

Colorsettings in New Document dialog box
I would love to have the ability to choose my color settings (ICC profile, conversionsettings, etcetera) from within the new document dialog box. When I create a new document I would like to be able to define the colorsettings. Especially the color profile and rendering intent.

Glyphs accessing
Just like MS WORD, to assign keyboard button(s) for a glyph that I use frequently and not accessible in my keyboard, the glyph palette is good, but in this case it is very awkward to use it. MUCH THANKS ADOBE BRAINS!

Make Add to CC Library a preference that must be selected
I don't want to use CC Libraries. That's my preference. I understand it could be helpful to some people, but right now I don't want to use this. Yet I keep having to open three different windows to deselect it and every time Indesign crashes (several times a week lately) I have to go through the task again.
Why can't we make it a global preference? Click you save to CC Libraries, unclick to not save.

Workspace – I have to re-create my workspace every time IND updates. Why?
Why can't IND remember the Workspace settings? Why do I have to go into preferences and move the windows around to the way they were before the update. This must be fairly straight-forward to implement, surely.

We want a "Flush Return" character like "Flush Space".
The gap between questions is not equal. Automatic vertical blocking character can be added.

Fill with Placeholder Text dynamically changes when resizing box
When a box has been filled with Placeholder Text and is then resized, it would be really useful if the text still fills the box.
So if you make the box larger, more text would be added to still fill the box. If you make the box smaller, text would be removed so the box is still filled but not overset.

PLEASE REMOVE THIS! I want to place an image and shrink it. PERIOD. such a frustration!
Whenever I drag over a PNG file (which happens to be an icon) and I want to shrink it to a smaller size....I'm always confronted with:
"This value would cause one or more objects to leave the pasteboard"
Okay.....that's fine. But why don't you provide INSTRUCTIONS for how to resolve this???? I've been copying it to different areas and nothing works. I've wasted 15 minutes and nothing. Like this is SUCH a burden in my workflow.
So for the love of God, please remove this PROMPT, it does more harm than good!
