Suddenly found:
When importing multiple images, press Ctrl + Shift and click to quickly get a specific size image.
I think it would be useful if I could set this size, but after searching for a long time, I only found that this size was related to the page size.
Please heroes take a look at where to control this value.
The example is easy to reproduce, so no sample files have been uploaded.
Thank you ~

And read my answer again: you do not need to hold down any modifier keys. Just click (or yes, drag). Just clicking will place the image at 100%, do not use ctrl shift when you click. If you want to control the size, then drag, also no modifier keys. Modifier keys are only needed when you want to change the size of an already placed image later.
By the way Rob, I see the same OP ask many other 'strange' questions, I guess he should first try to follow a class on InDesign 😉
Thanks Uwe, I had completely misunderstood the question—the Control-Shift threw me on OSX it is Command-Shift.
It looks to me like the grid is always 3x3—if I select 9 images the width and height of the grid group matches the page trim, and the gutter is the gutter dimension set in the page’s Margins and Columns... If I select more than 9 images, the extra images are added individually at 100% with single clicks. If I select less than 9 images, a grid with the same dimensions is populated left

Also, if you want the grid to fit with in the page’s margins, you can drag and use the arrow keys as you drag to define the grid divisions. So here I am starting my drag at the upper left margin point and ending at the bottom right margin. I’ve pressed the up arrow key twice and the left arrow key once to create the 2x3 grid:
What’s the problem with dragging? If you want the images to fit into a page’s columns I’m showing how to do that in my last post.
If the page had no margins and two columns you could do it without dragging, but I don’t think that’s what you are looking for.
Without dragging, the width of the 6 grid images would be the (page width – gutter)/2 and the height would be (page height – (gutter x 2)/3. If the page is 200mm x 200mm with a 10mm gutter, the grid images will be 95mm x 60mm:
