Hello

 

By pressing Shift+Cmd+T or choosing "Tabulator" in the menu of Indesign the Adobe websites opens. It is not possible to acivate the command.

 

Has anybody an idea? I'am using the version of 2020 of Indesign at macOS Big Sur.

    BUT FIRST

    Make sure there's nothing in Mac for opening a new tab or something

    I know on my Mac hitting CMD H in Illustrator hides Illustrator. -Annoying.

    I'm using macOS Big Sur 11.2 and InDesign 2021 16.1.

     

    I have no problem with the shortcut. Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

     

    You should be able to see what's set in the Type menu like this:

    The menu command is Type > Tabs on a US English version of InDesign. Either the shortcut or the menu  command should open the Tabs panel.

     

    If it does not try restoring your InDesign preferences:
