    Hello, first time poster here!

    I am working on developing an InDesign palette and I have run into an issue surrounding clicking buttons. The palette that I am working on is something that I want to stay open so that the user can interact with it while they work on their InDesign document. I want key focus to be on the document after clicking buttons in the palette and I am a bit stuck.

    Here is my use case: I click a button in the palette and it selects multiple frames on the page. I then want to be able to use arrow keys to nudge the frames around (for example). I can’t use the arrow keys to move the objects until I click back into the document because the palette is holding key focus.

    How do I tell my script to return focus to the InDesign document while keeping the palette open?

    Any feedback is appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Jeremy

    Hi Jeremy,
    While I know there are great experts walking around (thinking of Peter or Marc here :)
    I think you may be luckier in the Adobe Indesign Scripting forum for that really specific issue.

      Thanks for the tip Loic, I have gotten a ton of help from these forums in the past but I am new to posting in them!

      Do I need to remove the post from here to post there? I don’t want to clutter forums with cross-posts…

    Nevermind, I see now that you are talking about forums on a different site =)
