Chapter 26: Keyboard shortcuts
Adobe InDesign CS4 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.
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.
