All keyboard shortcuts disappeared in InDesign 2023

[BernieArrow]

I am running MacOS Monterrey 12.5

With the latest update of InDesign 2023, I lost all keyboard shortcuts and the functions of some keys in the keyboard, like the "delete" key. All other Adobe applications that have been updated seem to be running well.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try resetting your preferences:
The easiest way to reset everything is to delete the InDesign preferences: as soon as InDesign starts to boot hold down Shift, Alt, Ctrl (and Apple/Cmd if working on a Macintosh). A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.

Thanks, Eugene. Please clarify, for a Mac user, the keys to delete the InDesign preferences are Shift-Control-Command?

• Mac OS: Shift+Control+Option+Command

Deleting the InDesign prefernces seemed to have worked. Just one detail. Mac keyboards do not have an Alt key.

The keeys that need to be held down while InDesign is starting are Shift-Control-Option-Command.
