    In InDesign, the numeric keypad is only meant to assign shortcuts to Styles – Paragraph, Character, Object, Table.

    For assigning shortcuts to other Application’s commands, you’ll have to use the other shortcuts – for e.g., to use Cmd+1 to bring image to 100%, you will have to press Cmd and the ‘1’ key that is above the letter keys (on English keyboard, 1 is above letter Q).

    Hope it helps to clarify how shortcuts work in InDesign.

    Same here.
    I have a Belgian keyboard (if that matters) and CTRL+NUMPAD0 doesn't work in Indesign.
    When I try to re-assign a menu item to CTRL+NUMPAD0, the keypress combination CTRL+NUMPAD0 is not recognized. However, CTRL+NUMPAD_PERIOD is recognized.
    And indeed, this is only a problem in Indesign, not in Photoshop.

    On a Belgian keyboard, when trying to press 0 on the 'normal' keyboard, you have to press SHIFT, as on this type of keyboard, the numers are in the shift-register.
