InDesign CS4 Keyboard Shortcuts Posters Available

5

There are few things in life more heartwrenching than watching an InDesign user put together a layout without knowing the keyboard shortcuts available to them. Sure, some shortcuts are listed in the menus, but surprisingly many are not (View at 200%, Reset Kerning/Tracking to 0, Toggle Auto-Hyphenation on and off; to name a few).

For those users, and for those of you who upgraded to InDesign CS4 but forgot to upgrade your poster, we’re happy to announce that our InDesign CS4 Keyboard Shortcut posters are now available for purchase in our InDesignSecrets Store. At 18″ by 26″ in full color, the shortcuts are hard to miss! We have a few posters still available for CS3 and even CS2, as well.

For details about our posters, including close-up views, prices, and a 30% coupon code discount (expires in a few weeks), go to our Poster Details page. Or if you just can’t wait, you can jump directly to the Posters section of the store and then just click the Buy button.

Thank you to the printing pros at Sells Printing for their wonderful work on what may have been their very first press-ready PDF created from InDesign CS4; and a grateful tip-o?-the-hat to our “beta tester” (and InDesignSecrets contributor) Mike Rankin, who made sure all the Mac/Windows keyboard shortcuts were correct!

    hi i want to share a keyboard shortcut with you i hope this is a new one and you people love it…cmd/ctrl+alt/option double left clicking on a text frame opens the text frame options…i am using win hope it works for both platforms…

  • Anne-Marie says:

    Hey Baris, that’s pretty cool! Yes, it works on a Mac … works in CS3 too.

    If you have a selection tool, it just takes one double-click; if you have the Type tool (like you’re editing the text and want to get to Text Frame Options) then you need to double-click twice.

    Thanks! Maybe we should call this the “Baris” shortcut. ;-)

    Buildings that comply with such standards are considered.

    Does the carpet cleaning service offer extra services like cleaning tiles and grout, clean and repair upholstery and duct cleaning.
    Your needs depend on the type of the house that you live in and the
    kind of work that was going on at your place.
