Live Corner Radius Controls like in Illustrator

Hi Adobe team,

I'd love to request a feature for InDesign that already works beautifully in Illustrator:
the ability to round rectangle corners directly by dragging the corner widgets inside the shape.

In Illustrator, this feature is extremely intuitive — just grab the small circle in the corner and drag it inward to round the edges. It's fast, visual, and allows for fluid design work.

Currently in InDesign, adjusting corner radius feels clunky and hidden in menus. Bringing the same interactive corner control from Illustrator to InDesign would massively improve workflow for layout designers who often work with rounded shapes.

Thanks for considering this upgrade — it would make a big difference!

The Yellow Dot - click it

 

 

Drag one corner to move all

 

 

Hold down shift - then click and drag the node

 

 

Is this what  you're looking for?

You're absolutely right — it does exist in this form, I completely blanked on that.
But wouldn’t it make sense to make it work the same way as in Illustrator, so all the apps feel more unified?
Then again, maybe that’s just work for the sake of work.
Either way, thank you — I totally forgot it was already there.

That's the dream.
