Also experiencing the same issue, noticed last couple of days! You don't realise how much you use this until you can't! :( very annoying...

I'm there also - thought I was going crazy! Shift key not working to scale proportionately, not able to select point on a path to edit, it just moves the entire path as one... Hopefully restarting will solve... Adobe, if you have a solution, do tell.

Is there an update on this? I'm laying out a book and not being able to do proportional scaling is a major issue, and slowing the process down, please advise. Thank you.

This was just happening to me after coming back from holidays and the ol shut down restart fixed it :)

Having the same problem, too. Shift, option, command also not working to duplicate object. Please, someonw help? Adobe??

Same as Ashleigh... came back from holidays and certain "shortcut" buttons not working:
• SHIFT KEY for quick drag proportional scaling,
• OPTION KEY for manual scaling,
• SHIFT KEY for moving objects vertical/horizontal,
• OPTION KEY to quick drag duplicate an object.
Very frustrating and slowing me down!!

Hello,

My computer was off over the holidays and upon my return, my shift key is not working when trying to scale objects, or when I move objects and hold shift to keep them aligned as I move them up or down... Is there a setting or something that has been turned off? I have run all updates and searched the web for answers and have found nothing so far.

It is greatly affecting my work performance, any help you can provide me with would be great, thank you

I try to scale a picture within a pictureframe while holiding shift to scale it proportionally. Does not work.

I want to scale the picture and the frame proportionally. Does not work.

I'm from Russia and so most of the the time I use my native language in my layout.

Right after updating to CC2018 I've found out that I can't use the keyboard shortcuts normally!

Now when I type the text in Russian and need to copy-paste, for example, I must switch the language to make 'Cmd+C' and 'Cmd+V' working.

It definitely didn't work this way when I used CC2017.
Please fix this!

Thanks!

In the past I could move an image/text box while holding shift and move it over in a straight line up or down, now that feature no longer works. Holding shift does nothing.

I have a version of this problem. It doesn't seem like it is working but when I let go after dragging the image to be larger or smaller, it does snap into proportion. So when clicking+shift and dragging the images do not stay in proportion but end up in proportion.

Hi Ravi,

Just about everything that can be scaled using shift isn't responding--shapes, frames, placed photos, etc. I've also noticed that the shift function that makes lines snap to flat horizontal or straight vertical angles isn't working either. Basically, everything that should respond to that shift function isn't responding at all.

Nevermind. It's working now...magically.

Reporting same problem here: on MacOS High Sierra

I've noticed this bug, but quitting inDesign and restarting OS fixes for me.

Same here. Why is this happening and what is the fix please?

Exact same problem here. Very annoying and it's taking me an incredible amount of time to make small changes now. Please fix!!

I have this problem too

The AltGr+letter shortcuts are used for typing Polish letters and AltGr+N doesn't work. Even if I delete the shortcut from the default shortcut set (New Default Document) I cannot use it to type Polish letter 'ń'.
The same shortcut works fine with all other Adobe applications.
Please keep in mind that there are some keyboard layouts which use special shortcuts for typing special characters and this shoortcuts should not be used in ID.

I am work in Indesign CC 2017 and After selecting a tool transformation, hold down the mouse button Option (Mac OS) and drag. Press Shift to constrain the shift to more than 45 ° do not working
