My Favorite InDesign Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts save so much time and also give your hand a break from the mouse! Give them a try. PC users just use the control key (or alt key) instead of command.
Command-J
Brings up window where you can select which page to jump to.
Command-2, Command-4
Zooms to 200% and 400%.
Command-K
Brings up the preferences window.
Command-TAB
Allows you to switch to other applications or Finder.
W
Shows design in preview mode (without frames or pasteboard).
X
Allows you to switch between fill and stroke in Swatch menu.
E
Selects the Free Transform tool.
Option-Double Click
On any placed image will open image for editing in original application.
Enjoy! And, feel free to share any other time-saving shortcuts that you’ve discovered.
