    Hi @Adept_handse7f1,


    I'm sorry to hear that pressing the Spacebar is unexpectedly closing the InDesign window and disrupting your workflow.

    As our Community Expert leo.r suggested, this could be related to an incorrect keyboard shortcut assignment. Could you please try the following?

    1. Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, search for Close Window, and check whether Spacebar has been assigned to it. If you're using a custom shortcut set, switch to Default, click OK, and test again.

    2. Open a new blank document and check whether pressing Spacebar causes the same behavior. Please also test it while typing inside a text frame and while using the Selection tool, and let us know whether the issue occurs in both situations.

    3. If the issue persists, temporarily quit any third-party keyboard remapping or shortcut utilities, if installed, and check whether that makes a difference.

    You can refer to helpx troubleshooting guide here:

    Could you also confirm whether pressing Spacebar closes the document, hides/minimizes the InDesign window, or quits the application completely?

    If the issue continues, please share your exact InDesign build number and a short screen recording showing the behavior so we can investigate further.


    Looking forward to your update!

    Just following up to check whether you had a chance to try the troubleshooting steps suggested earlier.

    It looks like the Space key got assigned to the Close Window shortcut (probably inadvertently). Check this in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

    Other reasons are also possible.

    In any case, you posted this in the Creative Cloud desktop forum. Repost your question in the InDesign forum (you may need to change the title slightly to avoid a duplicate post error). Otherwise it won’t get the desired attention:
