Hello, after InDesign's latest update, I can't use shortcuts like alignment and object docking without selecting and grouping objects. What is causing this and how can I fix it? It's very difficult to work without shortcuts. I checked the preferences section and everything seems normal.

Hi @Fthy_864, have you tried updating InDesign to 21.4.1 to check if you continue to experience the same behavior?

If not, please try that and let us know if it helps.

Thanks,

Hi @Fthy_864 ,

I can confirm the issue with InDesign 2026 v21.4.0.74. Did a KBSC (keyboard shortcut) to align selected objects to the left, but the KBSC did nothing.

Also tested with InDesign 2025 where it works as expected.

Kind Regards,
