The only options that I can think of were both already mentioned. Winterm's Show Set answer (left) and my tool hints panel answer (right). Where did you hear about it? Can you share any additional information?


Maybe he means the Quick apply? Cmnd-Return (Ctrl-return on PC).

(Note: there is such a panel from DTP Tools that was free, now part of their DTP Tools Cloud, but the free version was never updated for CC... The last supported version for the free tool was CS4:

DTP Tools - Keyboard Shortcuts for Adobe InDesign/InCopy )

Shortcut panel? Do you mean Window > Utilities > Tool Hints?

No, i mean, the command to enter, so that a list of all shortcut-keys pops up on the screen, it's a small box containing all short keys...

There is no such function. There are way too many to view them all at the same time. Potentially, there can be hundreds.

Here's an article on InDesignSecrets.com about how you can limit the view of shortcuts which are defined in your Keyboard Shortcuts set:

    Keyboard shortcuts for styles must use a modifier and a number from the number pad. If your keyboard doesn't have a number pad you cannot create or apply a keyboard shortcut for a style.

    You're talking about keyboard shortcuts, I guess.

    Go Edit > Keyboard shortcuts...

    Click the button Show Set..., your current Shortcut Set will open, in txt format.
