Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut that places 1 photo or a selection of photos directly in InDesign?
( command: File > Place > In InDesign )

Correct answer stsmt

YES! I did it on my MacBook.
Go to: Apple > System settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > click + choose Application BRIDGE > Fill the exact name of the menu command [ = In Indesgn ] > click on the keyboard the shortcut you want to assign.

Ah, thank you @stsmt, I was answering the person's specific question. I didn't include the Mac approach because PC users cannot do that. I went ahead and gave your answer the Correct Answer marking but hopefully, PC users will see this also and note that they cannot do that.

Unfortunately, no. Bridge does not have any ability to make or customize keyboard shortcuts.
