Same problem as described above.

Have the same issue. Mailed you a .mov with WeTransfer. Thanks for having a look.
I only had this issue sinds InDesign CC 2019 (don't have Mojave yet).

Type Tool keyboard shortcut (T) = this is my problem

After upgrading to InDesign 2019, when I use the shortcut key for the text tool (T), it switches to the text tool briefly, but then switches back to the previous tool. If I click on the text tool in the tool panel it works.

InDesign 2019 on OS 10.12.6

I've been dealing with this issue for a few years now. I've used different versions of InDesign, on different computers... What's wild is when I demonstrate it to other artists in my department, and they say they've never experienced it. I recorded a gif if anyone's interested https://gph.is/2yyKJys

The same buggy behavior for me on Windows 10 after the latest update. (T) shortcut switches back to Selection tool

InDesign 14.0

When selecting the Type Tool by using the keyboard shortcut (T), it briefly activates, then deactivates itself and the previous tool selected is made active again. I am unable to use the type tool in the brief period of time it is made active. I can select it successfully by clicking on the icon on the sidebar.

This is happening to me as well. Same issue as Steven describes.
I press (T), the cursor changes to a bracket. I click on a text box, the tool reverts to the previous tool.

This doesn’t happen when selecting the type tool via the tools panel.

- Other shortcuts are working as intended.
- The shortcut in settings is listed as Default: T
- OS X 10.13.4

- Indesign 13.1

I'm having a similar issue! It seem to only happen on larger files though. I've tried reproducing it on a smaller file luckily tough hitting T brings up the type tool. I have a video of me switching to the other tools with my keyboard just fine but when i pull up the type tool it refuses and goes back the the previous tool I was using. It's hard to tell but you can see the type tool only pops up for a short second before switching back.

Hopefully this helps!

Hi,

I have tried this at my end but unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce it. Hence, I may need more information from you. Would it be possible for you to share a small screen-video with me showing what is happening?

Also, tell me, is it a consistent issue or an intermittent one?

You can share the video using any file sharing platform eg, Dropbox, Creative Cloud files etc and share the link with me at abkaushi@adobe.com

Hello, this is also happening to me. Whenever I press "T" to use the Type Tool, it will switch to the Type Tool for a second but switch back to whatever tool I was previously using before. Very irritating.

Using InDesign CC 13.1 on
MacOS High Sierra v. 10.13.3.

It is the "T" (standard hotkey)…

Hi Steven,
Thanks for your response!
Can you check what value is selected in your Keyboard shortcut dialog in InDesign?

Edit> Keyboard Shortcuts>set

Hi, I use CC 13.1 ( I just updated, but had it in the previous version as well.) and the OSX is El Capitan 10.11.6

I am no longer able to select the TYPE tool by pressing the '"T".
When I do so and then click in a textbox to edit the text, the TYPE tool jumps to the ARROW tool. I have to manually select the TYPE tool with my mouse.
And this pisses me off, why is this changed? …After 10 years?
