    When you have the Text Tool selected & working inside a Text Frame (cursor blinking inside the text frame), you can hold down the Cmd key. When you do that, you will immediately see the 9-points of the text frame getting highlighted, letting you Move the Text Frame by holding down on the edges with the mouse. You can resize using of the 9-points as well.
    Hope this helps. See the attached demo.

    Every time Adobe upgrades InDesign they seem to change something and I find this exhausting. I would like very clear instructions how to change the function of the ESC key to toggle the type tool and the selection tool - as it used to work very well for me. All the users comments have stressed how important this is to productivity and Admin is offering a very poor substitute action. A temporary solution at best. I can't get ESC key to work at all in InDesign 2024.
