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…

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!

Allow file paths to be copied from the Missing Images pop-up window
When creating a Merged Document using Data Merge, InDesign displays a pop-up window if it detects any images missing from the Data Source. The Missing Images pop-up window lists the file paths of the missing images. In older versions of InDesign, the file paths could be copied directly from the pop-up window. This is no longer possible with the latest version of InDesign.
Being able to copy lists of missing image paths directly from the Missing Images pop-up window is valuable to me because I frequently use Data Merge to make merged documents containing tens of thousands of images. My…

New Larger, Horizontal Background Tasks Meter
Please enlarge the Background Tasks Meter and make it horizontal in the Application Bar. It's hard to tell if anything's happening during PDF export, it's so small.
It would be nice if it was an elongated meter or had the same basic info that the Background Task Palette shows when you click on it.
Thanks!

Do not recalculate values entered into fields in other units
When I enter a leading in mm, InDesign will always recalculate to pt. Please give us the possibility, that InDesign does not recalculate values entered in other units.
Or at least give us the possibility to change the field value into different units. Now I have to blindly try out or use my calculator if I see a leading of »12,756 Pt« – is it 4,5mm or 4,45mm or what?

Option to open file path after PDF export
Could the PDF export dialog box have an option alonside 'View PDF after exporting' for something like, 'View file in finder after export', so that I can really quickly send the file in an email.
Or even 'Send file after export' so that I can super quickly flick the file off to our account managers?

Please, please, please support Emacs-style key bindings...
...at least for macOS. Virtually all macOS apps, especially those developed by Apple, support Emacs-style key binding that are incredibly useful for text navigation and text selection purposes. As an almost daily use of InDesign—and a 26-year employee of Adobe—I would very much like to see this supported. Most of the commands involve the use of the "control" key, which appears to be unused for InDesign keyboard shortcuts, so this is likely to be a no-brainer.

Disable feature annoucements and in app ads
Please add a simple, consistent option to the preferences of all Adobe desktop apps to permanently disable notifications about additional features and ads within the desktop apps!
For paying Pro subscribers, it is more than unprofessional to be annoyed by unwanted pop-ups and notifications while working!
In my opinion, subscribing to the newsletter or getting updates about new features on the home screen is enough to stay up to date.

In InDesign, you cannot directly customize the right-click context menu to add specific commands like 'Corner Options' or 'Relink Image...'
In InDesign, you cannot directly customize the right-click context menu to add specific commands I use often — Object functions like 'Corner Options....' or Links functions like 'Relink Image...'. Customization to the right-click context menu like this would help to increase workflow speed for users.

Customise the context bar
The context bar contains functions that I can access much more quickly via a shortcut, so I don't find it useful.
It would be useful if the context bar functions could be customised.4 votes -
A preset to limit your FONT view to preferred language, such as the one chosen by OS/region.
I have to use Noto Sans; Its required by my work at my University.
Is there a way to limit your font view to preferred language chosen by OS/region. My font menu is a mess of languages and it's hard to navigate to choose just "Noto Sans." Try it... really.. Try and Type "Noto Sans"... I never get the one I type it's always one of the other languages versions.
- So when a user choose their working language, InDesign offer them the right set of font.
Font lists are wayyyy tooooooo long to contain all the wolds languages by default!…

Please remove the text (GPU Preview) in the name tabs.
They take up needed space if you have several files open. I know I can turn it off if I turn off GPU but would rather not.

Allow data merge placeholders to be used directly in QR Code URL & Text
Data merge placeholders like <<Sample URL>> do not work when used in QR Codes.
That would be cleaner and easier to use than the current data merge which requires the syntax described on https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/data-merge.html
The Edit QR Code dialog should be improved to support these placeholder values.

Insert Kashida option in Character Style
In Indesing UI there is an option to Insert Kashida width options: "None", "Short", "Medium", "Long" and "Stylistic" but these options are not there in Character style creation window.
Please include this option in Character Style creation window so that it can be easier to apply type of kashida as required by the user.

Align Panel
The Align panel has the options to align to the selection, page, margin, key object and spread. You have to click on the icon to open a drop down and choose which one. There is plenty of empty space. I attached a mockup of the way it is now vs. how it should be. As someone thats constantly aligning things to pages and then selection, quick changing would be greatly appreciated!

I want to lock the palettes so I don't dislodge them accidentally
I have a tremor in my hands and dislodge my palettes when I try to open them. They are so sensitive! My tremor doesn't impact my work in any other way but this. It is frustrating and embarrassing when I am teaching InDesign to others. I have customized my workspace and I would like to "lock" it so I can't accidentally dislodge palettes. Of course I would still need to open and close and expand them as needed.

Arrange Saved blank document presets
It would be great if we could arrange the Saved blank document presets.
I have created presets for our most common product in different sizes. But the sizes are all mixed up: additional sizes are always added last, instead of in incremental order which would be more logic.
If I could arrange them manually that would be a great help.
