I work daily on customized graphic projects — brochures, flyers, posters, catalogs — where manual precision is essential. In these kinds of jobs, using styles and automation is often unnecessary or even counterproductive.

It’s quite limiting that InDesign does not allow non-contiguous text selection within the same text frame, a feature that has been available in software like Microsoft Word for years (Cmd+click on Mac / Ctrl+click on Windows).

Being able to select multiple non-adjacent portions of text and apply changes to them simultaneously (bold, size, color, etc.) would be a major improvement for those of us who work in a more artisanal way on short- to medium-length layouts with high visual detail.

Please consider adding this feature, at least as an optional setting, to better support the needs of many designers who don’t primarily work on long-form publishing like books or magazines.

Thank you!
