Fit Frame to Content Bug in InDesign CC? Keyboard shortcut not working

Using InDesign CC 9.1 in Mountain Lion, recently installed and has been working fine except I noticed that the keyboard shortcut for Fit Frame to Content won't work, even though the other frame fitting shortcuts work. I searched this forum and elsewhere to see if there was any reported bug for this but came up with bubkis.
When using the contextual menu option or toolbar button for Fit Frame to Content I don't have any problem. I thought perhaps my own set of shortcuts had overridden this default shortcut somehow so I reverted to the default set without any luck. I quit and re-opened ID with the default shortcut set, no luck either.
In the Keyboard Shortcuts menu options, when I try to assign Opt-Cmd-C it does say it's already assigned to that function. I'm at a loss here to understand why this one particular function isn't working as a shortcut. Any ideas why? What can I do? Thanks.

It's working for me in InDesign CC on the same operating system.
Here's a couple ideas:
Make sure there's not a Mac OS X system shortcut already set to this shortcut. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and check all the tabs for existing system shortcuts (I didn't find any but maybe you had set one). InDesign CC now gives preference to the system.
You could also try restoring your InDesign preferences.

  • Mac upgrade to Yosemite, Adobe Indesign CS5 keyboard shortcuts not working -  t for text  - z for zoom - v for pointer etc

    So I upgraded my MACBOOK PRO (Retina, Mid 2012) 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
    to MAC OS X YOSEMITE
    Adobe Indesign CS5 generally works with some very annoying bugs.
    All major keyboard shortcuts that use a single key command have stopped working. and these happen to be the main ones I use all the time for editing...
    t for text
    z for zoom
    v for pointer
    It's annoying because now I have to keep  going back to the tool bar to change my cursor selection. It's just slowing me down.
    Annoying but workable.
    Has anyone else go this issue?
    An update or fix would be greatly appreciated.

    WARNING!!!
    I was contacted by  apparently a third party supplier called Adobe Systems via this forum
    They logged in to my computer via team viewer
    installed utorrent
    and proceed to download a cracked version of adobe cs6
    in the mean time saying on skype that Adobe no longer has Adobe CS6 on their server.
    This seemed very OFF to me and I disconnected the skype (and blocked Adobe Systems) and disconnected TeamViewer
    If I wanted a cracked version of Adobe CS6 I'm very capable of doing this kind of thing my self
    However I run a business I want to have a legitimate licensed copy of the software running for my staff.
    They were offering a fully licensed version of a Adobe Master Suite CS6 with my own unique ID for USD$400
    Again very OFF considering the upgrade from Adobe from Indesign CS5 to CS6 is almost AUD$1600
    I don't know how they got my email address from this forum but it seems that the adobe forum has been hacked!
    you have been warned!

  • InDesign CS4 Keyboard Shortcuts not working

    I ran the 6.0.1 updater and now my Keyboard shortcuts don't work. The only one that does is Command Q and the spacebar.
    When I got to Edit> Keyboard Shortcuts, none of the buttons do anything (New or Show Set)
    Any ideas?

    Restore your InDesign preferences. Quit InDesign. Launch InDesign and IMMEDIATELY hold down Ctrl+Cmd+Opt+Shift. When prompted, choose to restore preferences.

  • InDesign CC keyboard commands not working

    I just discvered some crucial keyboard shortcuts not working today at my workstation:
    1) Option + click and drag to create a copy (Plus, holding shift key at the same time to keep alignment in place.)
    2) Command + Shift to resize a box and its contents.
    Neither work. What is the cause of this and is there a solution to these issues?

  • InDesign CC 2014 Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working

    Hello, I just installed and updated to InDesign CC 2014 on my Mac (OS X) and a lot of keyboard shortcuts are now missing. To move your view on the page, one would usually hold the space bar down and drag the hand tool. This no longer works. Also, usually to copy/drag an object, one would hold the option key and drag. This no longer works. Also usually to keep an object inline, one would hold the shift key and drag the object. This no longer works. I need assistance on getting this working again ASAP. Thank you.

    Quit Chrome. Quit Safari. Quit Firefox. Quit any form of web access > Restart InDesign > Open Adobe InDesign first (shortcuts should have returned) > Then open web browser of preference.
    ..still not working?
    Restart MAC / PC > Reopen Adobe InDesign first (short cuts should have returned) > Then open web browser of preference.

  • InDesign CC - some keyboard shortcuts not working

    Some of the keyboard shortcuts are not working.
    Tab (shift-cmd-T) works once after selecting it from the menu thereafter it don't work until you select it from the menu again.
    Align text:
    Left (shift-cmd-L) don't work
    Right (shift-cmd-R) works
    Centre (shift-cmd-C) works
    Justified (shift-cmd-J) works
    Is it just me or is anyone else having the same issue

    good tip. i didn't even know that existed but sadly the default set has [none defined].
              Screen Mode: Preview --- [none defined]
    I'm also a Mac running Mac OS X 10.8.4.
    Do you know if there is a way to replace or update the default set without manually editing each messed up/missing one? I have never made my own shortcuts and would hate it if InDesign CC makes me go in and and assign them. So I'm guessing my default set is messed up. Here's a link to the txt file that opened when I had [Default] set selected and clicked Show Set. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/632538/DefaultSet-of-Indesign-shortcuts_seems-wrong.tx t

  • How to fit frame to content when content contains anchored text box?

    Hi there
    I am creating a series of inline text frames within a text frame. Each of these inline frames contains text which includes an anchored text frame. If I tell my inline frames to fit to content they seem to ignore the anchored frames contained therein. Is there any way I can get them to consider the anchored frames they contain when they fit to content?
    I tried checking the geometric bounds of my anchored frame before and after its parent frame has fitted to content. Even when there has been no change in position the bounds after fitting to content seem to give numbers way off. I thought I might be able to reset the geometric bounds of the containing frame manually if the anchored frame therein had moved with the fit frame to content.
    Here is a snippet of my code:
    var anchoredBounds = anchoredFrame.geometricBounds;
    mainFrame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
    mainFrame.texts.item(0).recompose;
    var newAnchoredBounds = anchoredFrame.geometricBounds;
    alert(anchoredBounds[0] + "; " + newAnchoredBounds[0]);
    So “mainFrame” is the text frame containing text and the anchored frame, “anchoredFrame”. “anchoredBounds[0]” seems to correlate with the top edge of the frame when I check it manually after the script has finished (when it hasn’t move with the fit to content). “newAnchorBounds[0]”, however, always gives numbers that are way off every time. Any ideas why this would be the case?
    And most importantly, can anyone suggest how I can get my “mainFrame” to consider the “anchoredFrame” contained in it when it fits to content?
    I’m using CS4 on a PC. Let me know if it would help to post more code, or if I haven’t explained myself clearly enough.

    Is there any way I can get them to consider the anchored frames they contain when they fit to content?
    @Graham – as long as ALL the anchored text frames are "inline" text frames,
    mainFrame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
    should work as expected or at least sort of *.
    Without calculating anything at all.
    Just tested in InDesign CS5.5 (v7.5.3).
    Could it be that CS4 will fail on that?
    Of course, you can only rely on this, if the main text frame contains any "real" text at all. Not only the  special characters representations of the "inline" text frames. In that case the fit() method will do nothing at all.
    * it's debatable, if the fit() method yields desirable output.
    It depends on your expectations.
    See the following examples:
    1. Case 1:
    Text frame before fitting:
    2. Case 1:
    After fitting with the UI command, context menu: "fit frame to contents"
    (note the gap between the last baseline of the text and the text frame; note also  the new width)
    Is that the result you would expect? I guess not.
    3. Case 1:
    After fitting  programmatically with myTextframe.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
    4. Case 2:
    Before fitting
    same text frame as in #1, but different height
    5. Case 2:
    After fitting with the UI command, context menu: "fit frame to contents"
    A different width than in #2 and a gap at the bottom of the text frame!
    Not the desired result, I'd say…
    6. Case 2:
    After fitting  programmatically with myTextframe.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
    Same result as in #3
    So with scripting we could, at least, get consistent results.
    Of course, you could get the same results in the UI, if you double-click on the bottom center control point…
    Maybe it helps, if you are showing us some screen grabs:
    1. Your starting point
    2. The desired result

  • Box containing text and image (fit frame to contents).

    Hi all,
    The best way I can describe what I am trying to achieve is to show you a picture.
    So essentially, I'm looking to create a grey box, containing some text with an image floating to the right hand side. I want about 2mm space (padding) inside the grey box so no content goes right to the edge and I want the text to wrap around the image. The bit I'm finding tricky is when I go to use the 'Fit frame to content' option. I'm trying to remove the space indicated by the red arrows but if I anchor the image inside the text frame, the grey box shrinks to the height of the text and the image overflows.
    This would be incredibly simple to achieve on the web, am I doing something wrong?
    Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry, been out for an hour.
    I understood that you want to have some variable height text frame (the gray box), and that this box should reduce in height to fit the text contained therein, but not  less than necessary for the bottom to be 2mm below the bottom edge of the variable height image (which I'm presuming is anchored to the first line of text in the frame) in a case where there is not sufficient text for fit frame to content to avoide making the frame shorter than the bottom of the image.
    I believe this could be scripted, but that will still require you to run the script. You should ask over in InDesign Scripting
    As far as a container that holds both text and image frames, yes, but only if you "paste into" a new frame after creating the two separately and grouping, which probably is not what you have in mind.

  • Bold keyboard shortcut stopped working InDesign

    I am currently using InDesign through Adobe Creative Cloud on a Mac (Yosemite OS X). Just today, the keyboard shortcut for Bold stopped working. (Cmd + shift + B)  It beeps when I try to use it. I know that the font (Minion Pro) is working because I can manually select the bold version of it. Just the keyboard shortcut stopped working.

    Are you using a custom shortcut set? If you are not using the [Default] set look under Text and Tables>Apply Bold

  • Fit Frame to Shortcut not working in Indesign CC

  • InDesign CS6 Keyboard Shortcuts

    I use Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 extensively, and as I am finally coming around to use InDesign CS6 as well I'm finding it to be very disappointing in the keyboard shortcut functionality. I'm wondering if this is a bug, working as intended, or simply something I need help figuring out how to work with properly. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, and all my CS6 applications are fully up-to-date.
    My main issues are these -
         Using view shortcuts with a 0 or 1 (such as ctrl-0/1, ctrl-alt-0, and ctrl-alt-shift-0) requires me to use the number strip at the top of the keyboard, whereas with Photoshop and Illustrator I'm able to use the much more desirable numpad keys.
         I'm unable to change these hotkeys properly, as when I create a new keyboard shortcut set based on default, and go to add/change these shortcuts, the ctrl alt and shift keys are disabled. So even though I can set numpad keys the lack of function keys renders this functionality completely useless.
    This is extremely frustrating and I would appreciate any help in remedying the situation, thanks.

    The MODIFIER (Ctrl,Alt, Shift) keys should be working, in combination, with any other keys for making shortcuts, but they don't "register" in the dialog until you press and hold them in combination with another key. They don't work if you press and release before picking the next key. As mentioned, the Numpad keys are reserved for styles.

  • *BUG* Open Parameters Partial Search Does Not Work

    Similar question: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1773556
    Quite simply, using the open parameter #search=<keyword list> does not work at all if the search terms are partial matches.
    For example, if a document contains:
    abcdefg
    abcdef
    abcde
    abcd
    If I use the open parameter #search="abc", this will return ZERO results.
    If I use the open parameter #search="abcd", this will return ONE result.
    Is this intended? Is this a bug? Is Adobe going to respond to this?

    It isn't a bug. Read the documentation:

  • Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

    I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.
    http://bit.ly/yrTN4R?r=qr
    Thanks,
    Gretchen

    Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
    * While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
    * None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

  • InDesign CC Shift Key not working

    Normally I'd just hold the shift key down to resize an image or object in InDesign CC to constrain its proportions. Lately when I try to resize an image, the shift key doesn't do anything anymore. It no longer holds the proportions of the image box. Is there a way to fix this problem or is there a new tool that replaces the hot key shortcut? Transform > Scale is taking way too much time to resize an image to the proper size I need it to be.
    Any and all help is very appreciated.
    -Jon

    I was having this problem as well, within indesign CC 2014 only, not photoshop or illustrator. Virus or firewall can interfere with key modifiers. I have webfoot virus software. When I turn it off temporarily the shift key constrains angles and draws straight lines again as usual.  There may be a better workaround, but this works for me, though I have to turn the virus software off and on.
    I have a laptop that I haven't installed webroot on yet and it runs the same version of indesign cc 2014 as my main mac… there was never an issue with the shift key on the laptop.
    Good luck!
