Chapter 25: Keyboard shortcuts
Default keyboard shortcuts
Adobe InDesign CS5 provides shortcuts to help you quickly work in documents without using the mouse. Many
keyboard shortcuts appear next to the command names in menus. You can use the default InDesign shortcut set, the
QuarkXPress 4.0 or Adobe PageMaker
7.0 shortcut set, or a shortcut set that you create. You can share shortcut
shortcut sets with others using InDesign on the same platform.

Keys for tools
You can generate a list of the current keyboard set by choosing Show Set in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box. This
option is especially useful for printing a copy of your custom shortcuts.
This table isn’t a complete list of keyboard shortcuts. It lists only those shortcuts that aren’t displayed in menu
commands or tool tips.
Choose Window > Utilities > Tool Hints, and then select a tool to view its shortcuts and modifier keys.
