Shortcut for Horizontal Scale

[Ian384814086k9h]

Is there a shortcut for Horizontal Scale or is it possible to create one?  I use horizontal scale extensively and find it quite labourious to have to go up to the panel each time.

Many thanks Robert. I was looking for a shortcut for the horizontal scale for text. Do you know if there is a horizontal scale available or is it possible to create one?

Looks like only those:

Decrease horizontal scale	Decrease horizontal scale	Text and Tables	119796
Decrease horizontal scale x 5	Decrease horizontal scale x 5	Text and Tables	119798
Increase horizontal scale	Increase horizontal scale	Text and Tables	119795
Increase horizontal scale x 5	Increase horizontal scale x 5	Text and Tables	119797

But what exactly are you doing with your text - what is your workflow?

Why not make a Character Style?

Maybe there would be too many? 

That's why I've asked about the workflow.

Yes, otherwise we are just guessing. I personally dislike horizontal scaling, but there can be a use for it in a design situation.
