I installed the free keyboard shortcuts program to use with InDesign 4 on a specific job about 3 months ago. We were noticing terrible slowness on the computer and removed the program and the computer is working much faster. In Task manager prior to removing it, it showed the program using tons of system resources, and acting like spyware. Any thoughts? I’d like to keep using it, but am very wary of it now. Thanks!

I assume that Jan from DTPTools doesn’t check this blog everyday — they have their own support forums. You can find them at http://www.dtponline.com/

Dear Jan Macuch from DTPtools,

are you still around? The webpage with the workaround that you posted is gone. Whenever i want to assign a shortcut it says (in german, now roughly translated) “contains character that can’t be coded”.

Help appreciated,
sincerely,

Stephan Möbius

Great tool!
I find this plugin very useful. But when the same tool for Bridge cs3? I need to add some keyboard shortcuts to bridge like the command ‘place in Indesign” that I always use!
Thanks for any advise

This is the best thing since slice bread!

For the life of me I couldn’t find where “No Break” is in the keyboard shortcuts. A quick search and boom there it is. Perfect. Thanks David and Jan!

Absolutely, David.

This is nice little improvement and if you hate the ads so much, just drag the panel to the bottom of your screen until you can’t see them.

Wa, no problem! I think the question of how is this better than the built-in feature is an important one to ask! To me, it all comes down to speed and productivity. I think this plug-in will help people be more productive.
