Does anyone know what the ‘hide’ keyboard shortcut is for InDesign (CS3) ?
In the drop down it suggests that it is ^-cmd-H but that doesn’t work for me. What works for you?
Most programmes just hide on cmd-H, except dear old Adobe

The copy of CS3 running here claims it’s Command-H. (You can see the shortcut, if any, as coach-text next to the menu command in the main menu.)

Hi Walter,
I got it wrong…it’s CS2…sorry.
It’s a bit of a hotch potch…the coach text shows:
Photoshop is ctrl-cmd-H
InDesign is ^-cmd-H (but unresponsive to this)
Illustrator doesn’t show any shortcut at all!
In InDesign CS2, cmd-H shows/hides the outline of your text blocks.

To hide the active application, I usually hold down the Option key and click on the Finder or another app. Works with everything.

Hi Steve,
That’s a neat move, didn’t know that one! Thanks.
Not quite as quick as the pure keyboard, though.

Somewhere in InDesign, you can customise the keyboard shortcuts. I customised mine to rectify Adobe’s error.
You may find the Apple default “hide” command clashes with something already set in Adobe. In my case it was something I rarely called upon anyway, so I just removed it.
Hope that helps.

Hi Heather,
Yes maybe there is customisation somewhere. As mentioned earlier, cmd-H shows/hides the outline of text blocks.

Apologies for the double post, btw. I didn’t get any of this email traffic to my mail client from this forum.

From memory, as I can’t be bothered to launch ID right now:
As an added bonus, save a this as a new workspace. I have two workspaces, depending on whether I have the large screen plugged into the MacBook Pro or not.
Hope that helps.
