Keyboard shortcuts "command+h" to hide the guides

[Danaé Déus]

Hi there.

On Ps and Ai I use the keyboard shortcuts "command+h" to hide the the guides.
But it doesn't work on Id, while I go into setting keyboard shortcuts.

I went on setting keyboard shortcuts (Edit > Keyboard shortcuts > View menu > Grids and guides : show guides). Here I enter the new keyboard shortcut I want (Comm+h) but it doesn't works.

Instead, this shortcut "hides the application".
Looks like he's like that 

Is it possible to change this?
Thank you 🙂

Command / Control + '

[Danaé Déus]

Thank you Derek for your answer.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Also, I would like to change this shortcut to be the same as on Ai and Ps (commande+h), for convenience.

Do you see how to do it?

[Derek Cross]

Firstly can you confirm that this doesn't work (as you put it).

Can you not access this menu?

[Danaé Déus]

Here, Hide app is with the famous shurtcut that I want for Hide grid.
And for "Hide Grid, there is nothing while I went on the settings.

Did you restart InDesign after changing the shortcut?

[Danaé Déus]

Yes I did Peter 😮

Maybe to avoid confusion about any changes you may, or may not, have made to shortcuts etc, perhaps it might be worth resetting the InDesign preferences back to the factory defaults:

1) Close InDesign
2) Double click on Adobe InDesign's icon to launch it
3) QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (for Windows) or CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift (for Mac OS X)
4) When a dialogue appears, asking you “Delete InDesign Preference Files?” Click Yes.
If you don't see the question repeat the procedure again.

I desinstalles Id and re-install now 🙂
What I have to do next Derek ?

[Derek Cross]

I didn't suggest you uninstall InDesign, I suggested you reset the InDesign preferences – which have you done?

[Danaé Déus]

I know but as the hold down didn't work, I thought it was useful to re install it.

Is it wrong ?

[Derek Cross]

I don't know what you mean by "hold down".

[Danaé Déus]

You told me do that : "3) QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (for Windows) or CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift (for Mac OS X)"
But it didn't work, so I decided to reinstall Id. Like that, the setting are refreshed.

[Derek Cross]

I suggested in my instructions that if you didn't see the question you do it again.

Forgive me, but your responses are so perverse I don't think I can help you further – maybe someone else can take over!

[Danaé Déus]

Thank you Derek.
Maybe because of my English...
In your instructions you wrote:"If you don't see the question repeat the procedure again."

Nevermind, maybe someone else will help me.
Thank you for your time, 

Bye

I don't believe the Cmd-H command is editable in InDesign. 

[Danaé Déus]

Indeed, it's seems ^^'

Thank you

Try CMD + ;  , but to be noted, it'll hide your columns & margin as well
