InDesign Tools shortcut Keys Not Working

[Mike285024292f2u]

My Adobe InDesign shortcut keys no longer work! (very useful when toggling between Preview and Normal View, etc.) The shortcut keys do, however work fine in Photoshop. Uninstalled and reinstalled etc to no avail.

Also, is there a way to set the InDesign Default Workspace? I used to open InDesign all the time and it would open to my preferred Workspace (Advanced), but not it opens to what appears to by no workspace enabled )(not even essentials) meaning I need to go and select Advanced every time I open an ID document.

Webroot may generate the same problem.

For me, it was LastPass. In settings I deleted all the hot keys and command+' toggles the grid as expected.

For me, I had to close Adobe Illustrator. I've really got to point out the fact that this problem has existed for Adobe for a good 15+ years now. I came back to InDesign today after a long time, and I'm so shocked how bloated this software is now.

There are a few bugs this old that I'm thoroughly shocked still exists, and Adobe ignores. If they use their own product, they would see them. I don't have time to detail all of them.

Adobe used to be great. I'll leave the rest to everyone's imagination.

You have to close illsutrator to get inDesign shortcuts to work?

Sounds like a bigger issue - as I've worked on every itteration of Adobe since 2004 and never had this issue, across multiple computers, platforms (mac and windows). 

I wouldn't say the software is bloated - there are things I use daily that others don't - and there are things there others use daily and I don't - that doesn't mean it's bloated.

I've no idea what bugs you're referring to - if there's so many then maybe pick 1 that is problematic the most for you and report it.

You can report bugs

Reporting things here is not going to get much traction - it's a user to user forum - where users like all of us help each other out when needed.

Bugs need to be logged to be looked at.

Hi Eugene, I don't understand why you felt the need to discredit MikeAllen. You basically told him to shutup. Problems exist and not having had to deal with them doesn't mean they don't. And thank you for defining bloated for us. You of course are not bloated. Thank you for being so very very helpful with your solutions to problems that you have never experienced oh gracious grayshie boy.

Hi @Reed26468743w3qo , appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Just to clarify, I certainly didn’t mean to discredit MikeAllan or shut anyone down. If it came across that way, I’ll own it and apologise, that was not my intention.

My point was more about how wide-ranging user experiences can be. I’ve seen all sorts of issues pop up over the years and totally agree that longstanding bugs can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’ve stepped away for a while and come back hoping things have improved.

When I mentioned picking a specific bug, it wasn’t to be dismissive, it was to be practical, the best way to get Adobe’s attention is by logging a clear, reproducible report.

These forums are great for peer help, but they’re not always monitored by the devs, which is why I linked to the bug reporting page.

Happy to help if there’s a specific issue anyone wants to troubleshoot we’re all just trying to get the best out of the tools we use every day.
