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.

Preflight Profile for Accessibility
Add options to run accessibility checks in InDesign. Acrobat already has the ability to run an accessibility check. It would be so helpful to be able to run a preflight check for issues (e.g., alt text, table headers) before exporting.

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.

Indesign Thumbnails for Windows Explorer
Hi Adobe!
I recently switched from CorelDRAW to Adobe, and the "No Thumbnails for explorer" drives me nuts.
Adobe seems to be trying to force us to use Bridge instead of Windows Explorer, but I'm not interested in using BR, I want to see my files directly in Explorer.
Please fix this issue!
See my post here:

Migrate Workspaces On App Updates
ALWAYS migrate user workspaces when an app is updated.
It is SO FRUSTRATING to be on a tight deadline and have your UI blow up because Adobe pushed a version update without migrating over your workspace settings.
There is no point in having savable user workspaces if they all disappear every time you update the application.

Make Indesign UI bigger
People have been complaining for years about Indesign's hard to see UI and the inability to make adequate changes. Why is it 2020, and this issue is still unresolved? I shouldn't have to change my Windows UI to make it better, which by the way it doesn't. Attached pic of my display at the recommend UI setting of 250% on a 15 inch screen.

Make an option for "freezing" document window during searches
Currently, when executing a series of finds, a document with spreads will jump around within a window, even if view is set to "fit spread in window," as described in this post:
The expected behavior is that the page where the text is found should be centered on the page. That does not work with spreads. If panels are open on the side of the window, found text can frequently be hidden from view.
So I believe there is a bug with the expected behavior. But it would be even better than the expected behavior if there were a…

Preserve zoom when selecting a PDF comment
Selecting an imported PDF comment causes the document to zoom to fit, which in cases may result in the font size being hard to read. One can zoom in then, but when clicking on the next comment it will zoom out again. Frustrating and onerous. If the designer could control the zoom and it remained where she left it that would make using this great feature easier.

Please add Chinese language support. A global economy pleads for this.
I need to create bi-lingual content in English and Chinese. The current English language interface does not support this, (though the program could be downloaded with a Chinese language user interface in the Asian region.)
With the global economy we have, the ability for English speaking users to create bi-lingual content with Chinese or Japanese characters is needed.
Such ability is a basic function of most of the software I run.
Adobe is behind the times in this regard.
We look forward to this being addressed in the next update.

Background Tasks Pane animation
Create an animation setting for the Background Task Pane so that the pane gives feedback while in a closed, docked position.
Why this is important is simple. Even with the larger and larger monitors with more and more real estate, simple things like the Background Tasks Pane having to be fully open to be examined is counterintuitive and by extension counterproductive. I would like to be able, with a simple glance at a docked pane to tell exactly what state the background task is in and if further detail is desired or needed, then it can be expanded with the…

Option to disable corner rotation widget
Although the corner rotation widget is very practical, it gets in the way often, especially when working with smaller elements. Instead of resizing the item rotates.
Therefore I would like to plead for an option to turn this corner rotation widget off. This way scaling / resizing becomes available better, zooming in and out will be reduced which is more efficient.

Option to change standard font family (Minion) in the Find Font dialogue box
It would be wonderful if it would be possible to change the standard font family from Minion to something else. Either by setting up the standard font for new documents, or by adding a checkbox 'Set as default'. Another idea would be if ID simply would remember the last font selected in this dialogue.
Also something isn't working right here. If you start typing the name of the font and hit Tab to jump to the style, it resets the font family back to Minion.4 votes
