value itself. Then type another value.
Note: When you make changes using the arrow buttons, arrow keys, or pop-up menus,
InDesign applies the change immediately.

Customizing keyboard shortcuts
InDesign provides a vast array of shortcuts to help you quickly maneuver through and
alter a document without using the mouse. You can use the default InDesign shortcut set
or the QuarkXPress 4.0 shortcut set, or create your own shortcut set. The Adobe InDesign
®
Quick Reference Card lists the most commonly used default shortcuts, and tool tips provide
an instantaneous reference for shortcuts. You can share shortcut sets with others using
InDesign on the same platform.
InDesign also provides a shortcut editor in which you can view and generate a list of all
shortcuts, and edit or create your own shortcuts. This editor includes all the commands
that accept shortcuts but are undefined in the Default shortcut set. Using this editor, you
can create shortcuts that suit your own workflow. For example, you can create a shortcut
that activates a specific font, font style, or font size.
To change the active shortcut set:
1 Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2 Select a shortcut set in the Set menu. For example, select Shortcuts for QuarkXPress 4.0.
3 Click OK.
To view shortcuts:
1 Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2 For Set, select a shortcut set.
3 For Product Area, select the area containing the commands you want to view.
4 From Commands, select a command. The shortcut is displayed in the Current Shortcut
section.
