Then I opened the default and the Photoshop in Acrobat and ran the compare, and did the same thing for the default set and Illustrator. So if you go to show set, it creates a text file, and then from the text file, I printed it with Cmd or Ctrl + P, and I saved it as a PDF, or if I was on Windows, I would just print to the PDF printer. What I did was I compared all the keyboard shortcuts using Acrobat Pro's compare feature, and to do that, it only works with PDFs, so the first thing I did was I created a text file of all the keyboard shortcuts for the default set, and then also for the Photoshop set, and the Illustrator set. ![]() And actually this is two tips in one, so not only am I going to show you the differences in the keyboard shortcuts, but also how I created that. I've decided to take a closer look, and I'm going to show you how there actually are a number of different keyboard shortcuts if you're coming from Photoshop and Illustrator that you might actually want to try that. "The keyboard gymnastics you have to perform for some "of the simplest things." And he's like how come they can't be like other applications? And I said what other applications? And he said "I thought I'd just be able to carry over "a lot of what I know from Photoshop and Illustrator." (laughs) So it was like he was a plant from the InDesign engineering team, here's somebody who really wants to do that. It took me a long time of hunting through these to see was there a keyboard shortcut that was different from the one in InDesign, but there must be, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed those options right? Then on Facebook, I found this conversation in the InDesign Secrets discussion group where somebody posted that he's really struggling learning the keyboard shortcuts. Under the file menu if you want to create a new document, it's Cmd + N, if you want to print, it's Cmd + P, the equivalent to the selection tool, the move tool is a V, there's a lot of keyboard shortcuts in common, and the same thing for Illustrator is what I was thinking. If you go to the edit menu and go down to keyboard shortcuts, you'll see an option to use either Photoshop shortcuts or Illustrator shortcuts, which I thought was very interesting, and why would anybody want to do that? You know, when I was thinking about it, I'm going to cancel out of here, and I went to Photoshop, the keyboard shortcuts are the same. ![]() 1 as I record this, released in March 2018, there's a new feature for people who don't like the default InDesign keyboard shortcuts.
