CMD + M doesn't minimise main window when no project is open

Report · Dec 02, 2022

Hi.

I have posted about this before and, as nothing has come of it, I will post again.

The problem is that when I have no project open in InDesign, pressing CMD + M doesn't minimise the InDesign window.

It definately used to (I am on InDesign 2023), and it does on other Adobe software i.e. Photoshop.

I can't imagine it would be too difficult to add this function back in, and it would save a lot of time and increase workflow when using InDesign.

Thank you to the person who posted a work-around last time – it was recommended that I use OPT + CMD + H to hide the InDesign window, but this is hardly practical as it means getting into the habit of using a different key command especially for InDesign.

I hope this can get solved as it is a fairly frequent issue for me and I'm sure others find this irritating as well.

Thanks,

Rob

The keyboard shortcut to hide InDesign on Mac OS is CMD+H not M.

Minimize (Mac OS hiding in Dock) has never worked in InDesign. You can vote for it as a feature request here:
