Can I toggle through master pages with a keyboard shortcut?

I want to toggle through these master pages with a keyboard shortcut, if possible. 

I am updating them one by one, pasting some text unique to each language on the master pages. It would be great to have a keyboard shortcut to toggle down to the next master page in the list.

 

My InDesign is the current version.

Yes, just use the previous page/next page shortcuts.

  • Windows: Alt+Page Up key/Page Down key
  • Mac with full keyboard: Opt+Page Up key/ Page Down key
  • MacBook without a numeric keypad: Fn+Opt+Up Arrow key/Down Arrow Key

Edit: you can drop the Alt/Opt if you like. I prefer to navigate and center the spread at the same time—adding Alt/Opt centers each spread as it moves in to view.

Hi @darrellpones,

 

Thank you for reaching out! If the keyboard shortcut for toggling through master pages has stopped working, I recommend resetting InDesign preferences as a first step. This often resolves unexpected behavior.  

You can follow the instructions here to reset preferences: [Reset InDesign Preferences](https://adobe.ly/3Z8qDaS).  

Once reset, try using the shortcut again:
- Windows: 'Alt + Page Up/Page Down'
- If you're centering spreads: 'Alt + Shift + Page Up/Page Down'.  

Let me know if the issue persists!  

 

Best,

Abhishek Rao
