1. Make the systemfonts invisible.

   As a graphic designer I use a font management system. Unfortunately it is not (anymore) possible to delete the endless list of unnecessary fonts at MacOs Catalina. When using the Adobe programs (Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), the terribly long list of (unnecessary) fonts now appears. In this list, I have to find my activated letter fonts. Very annoying!

   Is it really not possible to remove or hide that list of Mac fonts?

2. Fix the defaults

   People rarely go into preferences and change the defaults. So for them it’s important to have good default values from the start. For people who know how to change the defaults it’s helpful if those defaults start out with the right values.

   I’m talking about the font size and leading increments and kerning/tracking value increments. Why would the default increment be two points for font size and leading, not one? Does Adobe think we want to make it faster to greatly increase the point size at the expense of not being able to dial in the exact point size size we need? The same with leading. If I’m trying to adjust leading with keyboard shortcuts I want to at least have the ability to get the exact point I want. Two points is obviously the wrong increment, and it has been for over a decade.

   Kerning and tracking are probably not adjusted by most users. For those of us that do we want a finer increment than twenty units. Five is the correct value here.

   Please, save us professionals the trouble of changing the defaults by setting them properly from the start.

   Oh, and these preferences should be application wide preferences, not document preferences. When I use the shortcut I expect consistent behaviour. If I increase the point size by two presses of the shortcut I expect to increase point size by two points. If I use the same shortcut on the same computer using the same version of InDesign but on a document created by another designer the shortcut might behave differently. Why would I want that to happen? The preferences for keyboard increment shouldn’t be saved with the document, they should be an application preference.

3. Change label for "Use Document Bleed Settings" to "Use Active Document's Bleed Settings"

   When exporting a book under Export Adobe PDF > Marks and Bleeds > Bleed and Slugs, it would be helpful (for other users to avoid the frustration of learning the hard way as I just did) to know that this setting uses the active document's settings rather than each document's respective settings (Guessing this is a limitation with how PDF is constructed, otherwise is this perhaps actually a bug?), or if no document is active that it will apply all zeros.

   The latter was the problem I encountered and was not expecting, as every document in my book has the same bleed settings (as I assume is the case for most users). Because I happened to have a document open for the last hundred or so exports I became accustomed to this feature setting bleed as expected, and so this was no longer on my manual checklist and consequently didn't realize the bleeds were set to zero until receiving my print proof (as I knew this was likely my final export I started to tidy everything up including closing all my active windows).

   Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, otherwise I think there's a very simple change that could be made that might save others this potential frustration, which is to merely change the checkbox label to "Use Active Document's Bleed Settings", and ideally disable the option if no documents are active.

   Thank You.

   Edit: Perhaps a bug after all, or at least related to one?... now when I use the setting, with an open document (which has correct bleed, and whose values are entered into the four disabled value inputs), the export still has no bleed. Setting those same values manually worked. Maybe just get rid of this feature (the "use document bleed settings" checkbox)? Cheers.

6. find and change in book

   Currently one has to open all documents to F&C across them. There should be a "Book" option in the F&C panel so the files open/save/close automatically like they do when sync'ing.

7. Shift+Alt+Cmd = shortcut for Step & Repeat

   After duplicating an object by holding alt (and shift, if you wanted to) in CS6, you could step & repeat the object(s) again and again by simply pressing Shift+Alt+Cmd.
   Neat! No trip to the menu-bar required. No aligning required.
   But that feature is lacking in the CC version. Why remove someting that really made life easy and worked!?

8. Zip Fonts When Packaging

   It would be great if there was an option to have fonts collected in a zip file when packaging a document. Fonts are often corrupted when transferred via the cloud, or FTP, and need to be zipped to maintain their integrity. It would be time saving if InDesign could do this automatically.

9. Support "Go-to-Page Button" interactivity in a PDF

   It would be nice to create a BUTTON that links to another page in the document (PDF).

   Don't quite understand why this type of button interactivity is "dropped" in the first place.

10. Select All Across Pages

    PLEASE create an option to select all objects or text over the entire document instead of just the page/spread you're on. Making a universal change to the document, such as outlining the type is such a pain having to manually change from page to page. I've seen MULTIPLE threads online for the past 8 years of people requesting this, and it hasn't been resolved.

11. InDesign index review. Add word highlighting when selecting the entry.

    The InDesign index feature is really neat, except when trying to review the entries that are added after using the add all command. This is especially problematic when multiple entries for that word exist on the page. Currently, I have to click "go to selected marker" where it puts my insertion point at the beginning of the marker. These are very difficult to locate, especially when using 4K monitors.

    Instead, it would be nice if I could click the marker entry in the index panel and have it magically take me to the page AND highlight the entry so that I can see it in context.

    Minimally, if we could add the ability to highlight the entry when clicking the "Go to marker" button, it would make a world of difference.

12. Could you please add support for 3dconnexion space mouse?

    Could you please add support for 3dconnexion space mouse? It would be great to use their mouse for paning, zooming and scrolling.
    I've contacted the people behind 3dconnexion and they told me that support for an application (Indesign) is determined by the application developer rather than by 3dconnexion. They have an SDK which you could use to integrate support for the space mouse in Indesign.
    Thank you if you would consider this.

    Kind Regards,
    Marti van der Zanden

14. Support variable fonts without STAT.AxisValue format 2

    When a variable font has one file for Roman and another one for Italic, the VF sliders only work if the STAT.AxisValue is in format 2.

    STAT.AxisValue format 1 or 3 works in Illustrator 2020 and also in Photoshop 2020 if the font has a nameID 25 and postscriptNameID attributes for fvar.NamedInstance (a bit weird since Illustrator is fine without that).

    If the files have only nameID 25 and postscriptNameID but the various STAT.AxisValue aren't in format 2, the named instances work in InDesign, but not the sliders: you can't choose an arbitrary value reliably.

    Adobe obviously likes to make VF with STAT.AxisValue in format 2, but it would be nice if InDesign works well with fonts from other vendors, done differently. For example, since the end of June, new VF releases at Google Fonts have nameID 25 and postscriptNameID, and good STAT table (but no AxisValue in format 2). Could you check some fonts, like Bitter[wght].ttf and Bitter-Italic[wght].ttf https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/master/ofl/bitter and make sure they work well in InDesign (they already work well in Illustrator and Photoshop)?

15. Automatic image link if the Links folder is in the same folder as the document.

    InDesign should automatically find images if the Links folder is in the same folder as the document. The old InDesign was able to do this. I'm constantly having to update links when the folder is moved around, and this also means re-saving the file, which changes the modification date.

18. Clipping masks with varied transparency

    The ability to apply an image as a clipping mask to another image from within InDesign instead of needing to rely on other software like Photoshop would be really helpful.

    I have hundreds of pages that need editing together with 1 - 3 images per page. Each of these images needs a png applied to them as a clipping mask with the text positioned around them. Currently the only way to do this in InDesign is to import something like a .psd file that you can't make live edits on. Constantly flicking between different software to get the layout right for a page is really time consuming.

    Affinity Publisher allows this really easily by simply right clicking an image in the layers panel and selecting Mask to Below. It would be great to see InDesign implement this is such an easy to use way as well.

    The images show the base black and white png you should be able to apply as a mask to a normal image and the effect it should give you. Currently InDesign's clipping masks don't respect the full transparency of the png because all they really do is change the frame and create a hard border.

19. Have a Dropdown arrow in the middle of Control/any Panel in Indesign So when the Mouse is Hoverd/Clicked on it The Menu/Options show up

    I like the Properties Panel idea And Hiding the Control Bars on top to maybe look less daunting to newcomers but What if It has a DropDown arrow. A small panel tucked inside on top of Indesign while having a dropdown arrow in the middle so when the mouse is clicked/hovered on top it falls down occupying the same amt of space. Can also be used on every other Panel the Right one as well. Just Hover the Mouse to the extreme Right and the Panel shows up and when not more viewing space for the file. I m not saying to make this a primary feature but to have an option for this kind of workspace. The Top Control Bar Dropdown arrow can have a tooltip Want More Controls?

20. Add ability to export PDF as imposed spreads

    It would be SO helpful to be able to export a PDF of a print layout as imposed spreads... the software already knows how to impose spreads in the Print Booklet feature, but if users could also export PDFs this way it would save a lot of time. I don't need to impose spreads often, but when I do it's a real time suck.
