The Option Key is Your Friend When performing any object transformations, if we hold down the Option key before hitting the Return key the result will be a copy of the original, i.e. changing Y coordinates in the Control Bar.

If we hold down the Option key while dragging around InDesign objects the result will be a copy of the original.

Finally, there are many palettes that contain the “create new” icon and the “trash” icon along their bottom. If we hold down the Option key when selecting the “create new” icon we will be presented with options, i.e. naming a layer. If we do the same for the “trash” icon, any warnings will be bypassed.

What’s with all this default business?! In the Context list, select the context in which you want the keyboard shortcut to function. The context ensures that the shortcut performs the way you intended. For example, you can assign Ctrl+G to merge table cells (Table context) and Ctrl+G to insert special characters (Text context).

Life is easier with a panel for keyboard shortcuts InDesignSecrets.com and DTPTools.com recently announced a new plug-in to help all of us deal with the customizing of all things shortcut related. It's super convenient to track down that one command you always wanted to know the shortcut for; likewise, assigning a shortcut to the command if it didn't have one. The standard dialog for customizing keyboard shortcuts groups commands into product areas for menus, panels, object editing, etc. This works okay for menus and panels, but becomes more of a hassle when you're trying to find that one command that doesn't reside in a menu. Simply type the command you're looking for in the top field and the listing updates on-the-fly. Select the command and click on the plus (+) button to add your shortcut. A subsequent dialog pops up, similar to bottom of the standard dialog for keyboard shortcuts, complete with the context pop-up and message letting you know if it's already allocated to another command. Some other handy features include: ✓ When performing your quick search you can also filter out commands that do not have a corresponding shortcut. ✓ You can load and save sets for sharing purposes. ✓ You can switch your active shortcut set. This also ensures that you're tweaking the appropriate set, which is also identified towards the bottom of the panel. In my case,  possibilities. ✓ If you accidently hit a bunch of keys and something happens, but you're not sure exactly what, now you can click into the top field, ensuring it's empty, and type the same combo. The result is the relevant command highlighted in the listing below, i.e. pressing cmd+opt+shift+u will highlight Views, Navigation Toggle Measurement System. This is a free plug-in. Along the bottom of the panel are banners that link to various InDesign resources. All highly recommended.

FYI: I didn't think much of this plug-in until I starting updating this document. Instead of constantly revisiting the standard dialog box to update and verify my custom shortcuts I simply made my changes through this panel. Surprisingly it saved me a whack of time.
