Hello!

I can not figure out the hotkeys to quickly go to the next, previous, first or last pages. Please help. I tried holding shift + the up or down arrow and nothing happens.

What keyboard and operating system are you using? Full keyboard with a numeric keypad? Laptop without one? Mac or Windows?

Yeah, I was wondering, my standard QWERTY keyboard doesn't have a "down key" down arrow doesn't work.

You can map all InDesign keys to any combination you like, under Edit | Keyboard Shortcuts. Choose any control+key combination that works on your system.

 

I dislike InDesign's page down/up function; it's useless to jump between partial page views. So I remap Next/Prev Spread to PageUp and PageDown instead. Go wild. 🙂

If you happen to be on a Macintosh without a dedicated Page Up or Page Down key (like my MacBook Pro), try "fn + Shift + Up" or "fn + Shift + Down". Use the "fn" key at the bottom left corner of your keyboard.
