    Hello,

    I am on Indesign CS4 Macintosh,

    How do you ad a shortcut to Duplicate Spread it does not seem to be listed in the Keyboard Shortcuts>Layout Menu.

    Am I missing something here or is it not possible

    You'll find that in the Panel Menu, not the Layout Menu product area. I'm on CS5 for PC, and it looks like this on my screen:

    Here's a tip:

    Call up the Keyboard Shortcut Dialog, then click the Show Set button. It creates a temporary plain text file, with all of your current keyboard mappings, and automatically open it in your system's default plain text editor. You can then use the Search function (usually Cmd+F or Ctrl+F) to locate the required function by name — they are listed by “Product area”, which is the same one as in the drop-down list.

    It's so convenient it's not even worth the trouble to save this document — just call it up again if you want to modify another key.

    It never ceases to amaze me how many functions InDesign actually has. On my system, this file has 1,565 lines! No wonder they had to stuff some of the functions into not-really-obvious places.
