I’m with Casey regarding the object group selection, binding keys to Select Content and Container is a huge time saver even without groups, since you can easily reach object pasted inside (and pictures in a picture frame) to apply colors/object styles/trasformations, etc.

However I will try this approach too, to see how can I blend the two together.

I haven’t actually tried the scripts, but I very much enjoyed the style in which they were written.

Kris; very elegant work (as usual)!

Great scripts, but sadly they are not working inside groups. Our designer create very interesting art in indesign from many many items. And there are also many groups. I have shortcuts for select container and select next/previous object, but it will be more easily and intuitivitly with some kind of this Rorohiko shortcuts.

Sory for my English

Excellent dope for a keyboard-shortcut junky like me! Actually I did think of something like this – but never thought I would get it.

Again (an again) many thanks for the script – and the information!

Thanks, Jongware. Believe it or not, I tried to find information on how to do exactly what you suggested in my various ID CS4 books but kept looking for the wrong terms in the book indices; it should have been obvious what term to look for but . . . . Anyway, I’ve now got that solved and learned yet another valuable lesson. (Can I use the excuse that I’ve been using ID for only a year ?)

oh yeah, almost forgot these which kinda borrow from Illustrator in a way:

First Object Above – Option+Shift+Cmd+[
Next Object Above- Option+Cmd+[
Next Object Below- Option+Cmd+]
Last Object Below – Option+Shift+Cmd+]
