Great question. I don’t think there is a shortcut for that. Shift-Esc should do it, but it doesn’t with a text frame. Maybe someone could write a script to place the cursor inside the currently-selected text frame, and then you could assign a shortcut to it. Would you want all the text in the frame selected? Or just place the cursor at the beginning of the frame?

The only short cut I know is to hit “t” after you have selected the box. But that only selects the type tool and doesn’t position your cursor anywhere.
And wouldn’t a script take longer than simply clicking with your mouse?
I realize some folks prefer keyboard shortcuts instead of using the mouse, but while I do use some keyboard shortcuts, I still use my mouse a lot.

I really like keyboard shortcuts. I have a magic mouse, and double-clicking is super annoying when dealing with text frames.

Here’s a script that, if the current selection is a text frame, places the cursor at the first insertion point:
if (app.documents.length > 0 && app.selection.length > 0 && app.selection[0] instanceof TextFrame) { app.selection[0].insertionPoints[0].select(); }You can assign it to a shortcut key.
