When working in a document, I found InDesign uses the units the rulers are currently set to. Since you can easily change the units (for vertical and horizontal independently) by right-clicking the rulers, this is a convenient way to switch between different units.

The keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+Shift + U rotates through all units (on Windows; Mac users should probably press all modifier keys except Ctrl).

With no files open, edit your preferences and change units to inches.

That said, InDesign will convert units so if you type 11 in, even though the document uses picas, it will convert the inches to picas for you.
