Scrubby Sliders for Everything Like Photoshop
In Photoshop, every scalable feature (opacity, text size, feather radius, etc) is a slider if you click and drag on the name of the adjustment. This is particularly useful for (large) font size. In Photoshop, you can live preview your text size by sliding, while InDesign you have to either arrow key or type numbers to preview. At the very least, make the font size drop down go above 72 pt like Figma!

Select plug-in presets on start-up
It would be so great if there was a way to choose a working environment at the start of InDesign. We use many different plug-ins for different clients. These cannot and must not be mixed. So it is very difficult to always copy the plug-ins out of the folder first and the ones needed for the client into it. If I have to edit a document for another client, I first have to close InDesign, swap the plug-ins and start again. With many different clients, this is very time-consuming. It would be better if you could save these different settings…

Object styles: Display performance
Add the Display performance option to Object Styles.
For example, I want all the barcodes in my files to be displayed at High Quality Display, but want all my photos to appear as Typical Display.

Application Menu Search (Windows)
I know this is an operating system thing, but after switching to Windows from Mac, I'm missing the search bar under the Help menu. I made a suggestion on the Windows Feedback Hub, but it doesn't seem to be getting much traction there. Unless I'm missing something, there's got to be others of you missing this functionality. Here's a link to my Windows Feedback Hub request. Go there and upvote! https://aka.ms/AAdvidk

Character Limits, Comb Line Form Fields and Font Alignment for Form Fields
Hello,
I would like to suggest that character limits can be set for comb line form fields. Also I would like there to be a possibility of creating comb line form fields (without creating tables). In addition, there should be alignment of the text as an option in the form field (whether left, center or right). This would save so much time and effort so that once the document is exported as a tagged PDF, those features mentioned would also be set. Finally, there should be a way to tag layout tables so that it does not register as a…

More functionality and control with form fields
Please add the ability to set leading in form fields. Many clients want to print lines for writing but also have multi-line fillable text fields. It's nearly impossible to create this and have it look good. Would be awesome if form fields used paragraph styles for formatting. Please also allow the designer to change the field highlight color. The default blue isn't ideal for most designs.

Odt support in Place dialogue
Hi! I'd like to see ODT Support in the Place dialogue. Since it already supports docx, ODT would be a logical extension

Allow Extensis Suitcase to Connect to Adobe Fonts Subscription
I understand that this isn't a specific InDesign feature request, but I can't seem to find any way to put in a feature request for Adobe Fonts.
Until, and unless, Adobe decides to create a full-featured font management software package, it would be great if for subscribers of Extensis Suitcase that we could link our Adobe account to access fonts from within Suitcase much the same way we can access Google fonts.

Warning for Registration usage
WAY too many designers use Registration as a color in their jobs. This is a MAJOR mistake for print design. Indesign desperately needs a warning that can not be disabled every time Registration is attempted to be used, warning designers that it is NOT the same as Black, nor is it a "rich" black, and it WILL cause problems in printing.

Forced line-breaks converts to a space in running header
Forced line breaks are converted to a space character when displayed as a running header.
This will often show up as multiple spaces in the running header.
Forced line breaks, should simply be removed.

Copy CMYK, RGB values in Color Picker as text
I would like to be able to copy RGB or CMYK values as text so I can paste them elsewhere. This would be helpful in my daily work where I make color palettes and then describe them with text in a brand guide. See the attached screenshot where I am currently updating CMYK and RGB values by hand from the color picker.

Export to a Word/.doc file
Would like to be able to export a project to Word. Which typically exporting to PDF is fine, there are some clients that require us to send them Word/.doc file. I've been exporting to PDF and from there exporting to Word, but that means much of the formatting is lost.

Worksharing across multiple users
Being able to have multiple people working in the same file at once similar to how Autodesk Revit is formatted - there is one "central" file and each user has a "local" file that they work on and every time they save it saves back to the "central" as one master file. There is also a safe guard against two people doing the same work where if two users were on the same page, the second person to try an edit the same object would see an error message telling them that someone else owns that item and in order…

Text and Hyperlinks - Tag a Hyperlink visually
The ability to see if a word is hyperlinked on a page with several hyperlinks visually, like you can with an anchor item. There is no way to see if a word is hyperlinked unless you open the Hyperlink panel and go thru the list of all the hyperlinked items on that page. Is there a way to create a visual cue like if the word was misspelled or something like that to quickly know what words are hyperlinked on a page. More of a visual cue to know quickly and also if you hover over the hyperlink, like an…

Reveal in Bridge should Select File in Bridge
In macOS, Reveal in Finder not only reveals the file, but selects it in the Finder.
Reveal in Bridge should work the same way, to make it easier to immediately manipulate the file (such as updating metadata).

Lock anchored object(s)
When creating a complex text box with anchored objects used as decoration, it'd be great to be able to "lock" the anchored object(s) in a way that selecting all text and pasting other text wouldn't delete the anchored object(s).
We have a "Prevent Manual Positioning" checkbox, it could be a similar "Prevent Special Character Deletion", so the anchored object(s) are locked and safe unless it is unchecked.
Would that be possible?
