We’re happy to announce the release of the Keyboard Shortcuts plug-in from DTP Tools and InDesignSecrets! I designed this plug-in with DTP Tools to help you find and assign shortcuts quickly and easily. The plug-in is free of charge and both Mac OS and Windows versions are available for InDesign CS3 and InCopy CS3. You can download it from www.dtptools.com/kbsc.
Features
When you choose Keyboard Shortcuts from the Window menu, the Keyboard Shortcuts plug-in opens a floating panel (similar in design to other InDesign panels).
The panel lets you:
- Use a dynamic search field to quickly find which keyboard shortcut is assigned to each feature.
- “Reverse lookup” to find which feature is associated with the shortcut you press.
- Quickly add/remove shortcuts.
- Add/delete custom shortcut sets.
- Export your custom shortcut sets to share with others.
- Filter out hundreds of commands with no current shortcut.
- Get immediate feedback on which custom shortcut set is active.
