Creating
a keyboard shortcut in InDesign
Tired of going to the menus to select the same action over
and over again? Having trouble memorizing some of InDesign's
complex keyboard shortcuts? It's very easy to create your own
custom keyboard shortcuts of your own!
From the main menu, select Edit -> Keyboard Shortcut
Click the New Set button to create a new set of keyboard shortcuts,
based on the default set. (InDesign won't let you overwrite the default
set so it creates a copy of the defaults that you can modify.)
In the Product
Area dropdown, select the area of InDesign where you find the function
you are trying to create the shortcut for. For instance, select
Panel Menus if you are trying to change an option found in the Panels
area.
Choose the
specific command from the commands list.
Click in the New
Shortcut text box and type the desired key combination that you'd like
to associate with the action. You need to use at least one
modifier key (Ctl, Alt, Shift) plus a keyboard character key.
Note: be careful to check beneath the New Shortcut box to make
sure that the shortcut is not already in use.
Click the Assign
button, and OK to close the dialog. Your keyboard shortcut is
ready to use!
