Batch Rename Multiple Layers at once. Find/Change Names of Layers.
Would be nice to rename multiple Layers at once in Indesign like renaming Files in a Finder-Folder. Or with a additional function for Find/Change.
Usecase in the picture below. Have to rename several Layers for exporting with scripts. Always double-click is annoying. Would improve my Workflow a lot.

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!

PDF to InDesign - Preserve Editing Capabilities
In Illustrator, you have an option for saving to PDF to "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" so that you can open the file in Illustrator again and have the whole file including the layers, effects, guides, etc. Can we have this for InDesign as well?
I work with some people that I know use InDesign and export the PDF from there, but don't share the InDesign file so when changes need to be made, it gets a bit more complicated than necessary.2 votes -
Opentype + Glyphs UI Menu Preview
The UI for Opentype is extremely difficult and time consuming to use. The entire thing needs to be set up like Illustrator, with one addition: PREVIEW TYPOGRAPHIC FEATURES (especially the stylistic sets).
This UI feature should behave just like the Fonts Menu: When you open the font family menu with text highlighted, each font you hover over previews on your selected text.
This needs to be replicated for Opentype and Glyphs. So once you open the dropdown for stylist sets or glyphs, each style you hover over, will preview in real time on your selected text or in a pop…

Create a text variable window to see and edit values faster
Right now you have to open each variable independently. Then if you want to change the value you have to save and exit each variable. Also you have to open each variable to see the value.
Please create a Text Variable Window with two columns. One for the Name the other for the value. This way we can see the variable and edit the variable. Add the add icon, and add duplicate variable icon.

Mark layers as visible in the exported PDF but non-printing from within InDesign export settings
PDFs have the ability to mark layers as non-printing, so that they appear visible on the screen but don't print to hard copy. I'm using this capability to add a light raster background to all pages of a workbook for students, which adds a bit of warm color to the on-screen viewing experience, but I don't want this background to use up all their toner if they decide to print the pages. Similarly, the entire workbook has page numbers, but the worksheets should print without the page numbers, because they're not relevant outside the context of the book.

persistent plugin panel
It would be nice if the UXP plugin panel was persistent within a saved workspace.

COMMAND + "O"
COMMAND + "O" to open a new file. It works in other Adobe programs but not InDesign for some reason? SOOOOO simple you'd think.

Fonction break apart pour les elements de texte
Bonjour, en tant qu'éditeur de feuillets publicitaires une fonction qui me manque dans Indesign est celle de pouvoir "casser" un grand paragraphe en lignes, c'est à dire que, lorsque je place mon descriptif de tous les produits présents sur mon dépliant je sois capable de le démembrer en lignes, contenant chacune le descriptif d'un produit, snas être obligé de copier ligne par ligne de mon ensemble de descriptifs pour constituer ainsi un bloc de text séparé pour chaque descriptif (cette fonction est présente sur CorelDraw sous la description "break apart" - CTRL+K).

Flatplan in Bridge
Preparing a magazine without a publication tool like Woodwing or PlanSystem is challenging. You need a flatplan, yet such a tool does not currently exist.
It would be sufficient if Bridge could display all the pages of an InDesign document and allow the insertion of PDFs for advertisements between them. Then, linking this sequence of pages to the document's pagination would be necessary.
This would be a great help.

Add option to "Find this style" just like "Find this colour"!
I would be great to have the ability to find a style (Paragraph, Character or Object) straight form the panels (Ctrl + click on a style) to quickly find obscure and unused styles without having to open the Find/Change panel.
This option is already available to find a colour in a document and it is very useful, so it would only be logical to do the same for styles, no?
It would be especially appreciated when one takes over a project that’s already been started... with styles galore!

I used to be able to create a PDF in InDesign when printing a booklet. I can no longer do this. Why? It's so frustrating!

In some jurisdictions they may have to have line numbers, but not in Federal or any that I practice in.
A TOA is a table containing the name of all cases, statutes and other authorities used in the document and the page reference.
One complex is that the reference in the table may be slighly different from that in the text.

Why do you have the Dictionary type in this location:
We refer to the Dictionary type, once in a blue moon, if ever. It doesn't need to be so easily accessible.
One thing that would be useful to occupy this space: the Paragraph Styles drop down menu. We refer to this one numerous times in one day.1 vote -
interactive form checkmark
When building an interactive form with a check list, would be nice to have the checkmark customizable either by font or upload my own icon. The standard one used is not the prettiest.
