1. Automated Language detection

   Please consider a automatic intelligence, which could automatically detect the languages used in a document.

   In nearly all texts I’m typesetting for journals and specialized books, there are parts of foreign languages inside the text (quotes, citations, ...). It would be genious, if InDesign could automatically search, find, and mark those bits of foreign languages, and change the language mode for those bits, so that the correct hyphenation will be applied.

   In combination with the ability to unlimit the number of character styles, that can be applied to character or text, that would be a very powerful feature.

   Teach Adobe Sensei to find languages!

3. Align Text exactly to the left or right edge of the frame

   It's a very logn known issue in InDesign: Different font sizes have different spacings to left or right edge of the frame. The more the font size grows, the more the space to left or right edge of the text frame grows.
   From time to time in the past years my clients have noticed that in drafts for correction. This means a lot of additional manual work for large projects in order to align the font correctly.
   It would be great and an enormous relief if in one of the next versions the text frames are either already correctly preset, or if there would be the possibility in the style sheets to set the left or right alignment accordingly.

4. Shading and Underline conflict

   Some underline strokes become invisible when Paragraph Shading is applied.
   If removed shading then strokes appear.
   That's a bug, shading always must go bottom.
   Two screenshots are from Indesign, with and without paragraph shading. The last screenshot is from Acrobat, i've deleted manually gray frames to reveal the hidden strokes.

5. Remove Story panel, make optical alignment a paragraph attribute.

   The Story panel has only one option, optical alignment, and it is badly implemented. It applies to an entire story across multiple text frames, columns, and pages, and has one value for point size regardless of the point size of the various styles used throughout the story.

   Instead, make optical alignment and hanging punctuation two paragraph attributes. Allow the point size to be left black, forcing InDesign to apply the current size for each paragraph.

6. Add hanging punctuation for chevrons

   Hanging punction is currently not working with chevrons (« ») – which are used in Germany, Spain, Italy, France & Norway. In Quark XPress this works perfectly with one click. I am a professional typographer and would like to have this issue fixed as soon as possible. Kind regards Egil Haraldsen

7. Enhanced Full Vertical Justification feature

   Currently, InDesign's vertical justification is very basic and has several drawbacks that render it useless for professional layout.
   1. Very limited Control. The only parameter you can set is the additional gap that will be added between paragraphs.
   2. Beyond that threshold, InDesign adds gaps between the paragraph lines - a typographical catastrophe, without any possibility for control.
   3. The VJ control is and text frame attribute and not in the paragraph style level' which causes un proportional separation between headlines and text - again, typographically un expectable.
   4. The alignment is done without any consideration to the amount of text in the frame, and needs to be treated (either manually or by script) in text frames that contains a small amount of text, like at the end of a chapter.

   The proposed solution will define some new attributes and features to the full VJ, which will improve the result given in the current situation, and provide a solution to the above mentioned problems.

   My proposed solution is as follows:

   [Paragraph and Paragraph Styles]

   Here are two optional methods:
   [Method A]
   In the Paragraph and Paragraph Styles attributes, create five new fields:
   Title: Full VJ optional Spacing
   A. Space before: Field 1 - Max. expand. Field 2 - Max. shrink.
   B. Space after: Field 3 - Max. expand, Field 4 - max. shrink.
   C. Field 5 - Line spacing. The default value will be 0 (zero).
   All the values in Millimeters\Points.
   When the basic value of the Space Before\After is 0 (zero), fields 2 and 4 will disabled.

   [Method B]
   In the Paragraph and Paragraph Styles attributes, create a Justification like interface to control the parameters settings for the full VJ options, except the parameters will be: Space Before Variation, Space After Variation, and Line Spacing Variation.
   For each parameter, the 3 percentage values will allow setting the Minimum, Desired, and Maximum spacing changes allowed.
   The full VJ will be implemented according to combined calculations of all the above settings (Space Before spacing method and values, Space After spacing method and values, and line spacing value), similar to how the 3 parameters 3 values combination of the Justification feature works.

   To resolve cases when the Space Above or Space Below are set to 0 (zero), in which the respective 3 value fields of the Space Above Variation or Space Below Variation should be dimmed (because you can't set a variation to a 0 value) ,my suggestion is that this section/dialog will include a representation of the Space Before and Space After fields which will allow the user to set spacing value directly from the full VJ settings interface, the same way the Indent value fields allow to set the paragraph indents from the Bullets & Numbering dialog/section.

   In addition, add a Force Justified Vertical Justification options (radio buttons) that will determine the full VJ behavior when the values of all the parameters are not sufficient to achieve a full vertical justification in the current text frame height.
   Option will be: (1) Justify to Top; (2) Partial VJ - the result with the maximum values applied; (3) Forced VJ - a forced spread with spacing violations over the defined values.

   [Text Frame Options]
   Add a Contents Threshold field to the Text Frame Options dialog that will allow the full vertical justification to be performed only if the text frame contents fills more than the designated percentage of the frame height.
   The default value should be set to 85% or 90%.

8. text box handles: right side

   Please put a handle on the righthand side of text boxes that is not hidden by either the "click to edit corners" yellow box or the text-thread button when the text box is vertically challenged, as it were. Sometimes I want a text box to maintain a specific height but need to pull it wider to the right. If the text box is tall enough, the righthand pull handle is easily accessible, but if the text box is short, there' no way to pull the box wider to the right without either making it taller or using one of the corner handles, which run the risk of changing the vertical dimension along with the horizontal dimension.

11. Find/Change "negatively" on a paragraph/character/object property (i.e., look for a style set to anything BUT 13pt)

    It would be nice if find/change had to ability to search for everything BUT something. For example, if I had a style named "text" where the leading was defined as 13pt but I wanted to only find instances where the leading was NOT set the 13pt because of some local override. But these overrides might be 14pt or 15pt, but that would required 2 or more separate searches. I don't necessarily know how many paragraphs have been locally overridden from the set 13 unless I page through and look for each paragraph by sight. I realize the local Style Override Highlighter reveals this info to some degree, but there may be hundreds of paragraphs in my book that have been adjusted to something other than 13pt. I am a typesetter, and sometimes we typeset old books. We pull old files, but are using the same text in a completely new design, but want to get rid of the local overrides from the old design, but only on specific styles (not universally). This would be useful in other contexts as well, of course, that's just an example of something I would use it for. I am aware that Negative Lookahead/Behind are some variation of looking for something "negatively," but it would be nice to do this more universally with any paragraph/character/object property/setting.

12. Make 'Character Style' have bullet options

    It would be useful to be able to define bullets as part of a character style, rather than a separate paragraph style.

    Often, bullet paragraphs only differ from the body text by the addition of a bullet and the associated indent.

    Being able to define bullets as a character attribute, rather than a paragraph style, would allow more flexibility with the new options concerning consecutive paragraphs of the same style (borders, spacing).

    If I have a paragraph of text and then a couple of paragraphs of bullets, but the bullets were defined by a character style I could have a border surrounding all of it and bespoke spacing between the paragraphs. Currently the workaround is very messy.

16. Add a vertical type tool.

    I'm a sign designer. I use AI and ID in tandem to output mass amounts of signs with variable copy (using data merge feature); such as unit IDs, where the numerals change. Sometimes the design of these include vertical type.

    Not having a vertical type tool is crippling to my workflow, as I have to fumble my way through the type on a path option (which often doesn't space consistently, or do it manually.

    There are many occasions where a specific pair of letters do not kern properly, such as ". I would like to be able to select the pair of letters from a particular font that I want kerned throughout an InDesign document, and have them automatically kerned. I don't want to have to apply a style to each instance, or find and replace each instance.

18. More control with paragraph shading

    I would like more control over the space insets in the paragraph shading options. When a long paragraph of text flow on to the next page there is no way to control the spacing above (padding) when we're in the middle of the paragraph and "clip to frame" is checked. It is possible to get away with it if the distance from the top-margin and the first baseline is sufficient, but most of the time I want more space. I think it would be better if the text was forced down to the second baseline if necessary. The end goal is to have the same amount of space above the text where the shaded paragraph starts and where it continues on the next page. This looks better. See the attached file.

19. Create a more functional font menu please!

    Make the fonts menu more functional.

    Show larger font samples
    Let user see selected text or custom text as sample text (instead of just using "sample")
    Ability to sort between serif, san-serif, decorative, handwritten, etc. Even if this means user needs to create "tags" to organize their own font libraries.

    See the typekit website or any website that sells fonts. Do it like that.

    The above functionality apart from having a different Sample text for font is now available in the latest version of InDesign i.e. InDesign CC 2018

20. Paragraph shading (and borders) should be able to clip/inset based on the text box

    Paragraph shading extends outside of the text box. This is especially annoying when shaded text spans over multiple pages (see screenshot: AutoShading.png). It would be great if it could automatically clip and inset based on the text box—see screenshot: HowItShouldLook.png. The current solutions I can think of are really messy and easily negated.
