Make “Undeline Options” in the Character panel maintain the last settings.
Please make “Undeline Options” in the Character panel maintain the last settings and apply those to each new underlinining, as opposed to resetting to the default every time. As this makes us users have to go into the Character dropdown for “Undeline Options” and set the distance and with over and over and over and over again ... Yes, applying styles may take care of this problem but I don’t alway bother to create styles for each small project. Thank you!

Strip Newlines from Cross-References and Table of Contents
When taking some headlines that have newlines in them, cross reference also keep inline newlines in the text they output. This can also occur in table of contents.
It would be nice to have a checkbox that would strip newlines from these.
There is also a bug where if a heading's style changes in the middle of the paragraph (I have a box with a smaller heading and then a colon with a subtitle afterwards eg. "Abilities: Learning to Stack Techniques", the text before the colon and the text after have different styles), sometimes the cross reference will output that…

Correction in Dictionary Criteria for Hyphens (Portuguese)
Most of hyphenation in Portuguese splits sylables from two consonants in a row (r-r, s-s Ex: 'car-ro', 'profis-são'), but this is not true for nasal sounds formed with the letter H (lh, nh) and I see myself having to review this hyphenation constantly. For example, the correct hyphenation is 'traba-lho', but inDesign usually hyphenates 'trabal-ho' (which is incorrect). It is a simple addition to the program that could save a lot of reviewing time.
There are some other issues too.
Could you please check that out and review the hyphenation rules as of grammar? Portuguese has quite a bit of…1 vote -

Paragraph adjacent to the previous without indentation
Such a paragraph model exists in some word processors. It's not always convenient to add the same nested styles to a dozen different paragraph styles.
Also, this feature would solve some other problems (for example, you could create a list in one paragraph)

Markierter Text
Seit dem letzten Update reagiert die Tastatur seltsam.
Markiert man in einem gewöhnlichen Texrahmen ein einzelnes Zeichen und schreibt ein neues ist alles wie gewohnt.
Sobald man aber zwei oder mehr Zeichen markiert schreibt InDesign erst beim zweiten Zeichenanschlag. Das erste eingetippte Zeichen wird also immer unterschlagen, sehr nervig!1 vote -
Show Hidden Characters
When you have "Show Hidden Characters" turned on, we don't really need to see the hidden characters of the type that's on the Master Pages.
The reason I'm asking that is that with this option turned on, it interferes with my ability to read small type that's on the Master Pages.
I mean, if I'm looking at a Master Page, sure it could be on, but if I'm looking a the regular pages with that feature turned on, I usually don't need to see those hidden characters of the type that's on the Master Pages.

I want to be able to search for an empty cell in a table, and able to add the cell icon (square) in a search..
I want to be able search for the cell icon in a table or an empty cell.
Sometimes I have to search for empty cells in tables and replace them with an en dash to show that they are intentionally empty.
When you have over 70 tables in each book it would be really helpful to be able to search for an empty cell.
And sometimes I need to search for characters that appear all over the document but I only want to find the ones in a cell, so being able to specify that icon in a search would…

Overhanging glyphs
Gentlemen, this may be covered already, but it annoys me that when the letter “f” and maybe others appear in a justified paragraph they overhang the right margin. I believe the same may apply to the left margin with a few glyphs in italics.

Provide better keyboard support in Story view.
Provide better keyboard support in Story view. Currently PageUp and PageDn and other scrolling keys don't work, and I am forced to use the mouse for long-distance scrolling.

Paragraph shading with rounded corners
Paragraph shading is very useful, but for some reason clients always seem to want to have rounded corners on boxes/panels :)
If we could have rounded corners that we can define the radius of this would give a lot more flexibility for layout. Paragraph shading works inside table cells too so this would open up a lot of possibilities for table styles.

Add ability to define text sections
There could be a panel much like the conditional text panel, which allows you to define and name text ranges/sections, which should be stackable.
Thinking of HTML/XML/EPUB export of content, you are then able to feed the sections into div containers (<div class="sec1"><h1>Blabla</h1><p>blablablablabl</p>...</div>).
Nowadays such containers, which you must have according to the DTD/Schema or Website the content will be published after print publishing, have to be added by hand or with tricky XSLT programming.1 vote -
'Apply Similar Filter' character addition
As already used in Photoshop and Illustrator, the 'Apply Similar Filter' to text and character seems like a logical step, given that InDesign is a primarily text heavy application, being able to select similar fonts would be a must in my books.

GREP 'soft' Find and Replace
I'd like to be able to use GREP to search for a particular string (in a particular style) and then hide it and replace it with a different string with a selected style.
This would allow me to replace, for example, the company's name written in full with the company's logo (which is a single character in a special font) without destroying the text. It could also allow me to replace the words for 'wheelchair access' with the icon etc.

paste without formatting
Shortcuts: I am saddened that the paste commands have been changed around. Paste Without Formatting has lost its shortcut status and replaced with Paste In Place (in line with Illustrator); Paste Into has become Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V (previously Paste In Place). This might make sense to align with Illustrator but I use the Paste Without Formatting option a lot of the time. The previous Paste Into (Ctrl+Alt+V Windows, Ctrl+Option+V Mac) now appears to be free - could this be the new Paste Without Formatting?
