In Illustrator - when dragging an object I can press and hold [al/option] at any point in the drag to drop it as a dupicate.
in Indesign - I must initiate the click/drag with the [alt/option] key already held down to get this duplicate behaviour.
Why is this different?
Is there some other functionality or benefit missed/added in one that's not in the other that requires it to be this way?
I massively prefer the Illustrator way of doing this, so is there a way to change Indesign to behave like Illustrator in this respect?
// Other interesting disparities in user experience:
Indesign and Illustrator Text entry both recognise the [Escape] key as exit text edit mode and select Text holder object.
Photoshop and After Effects use the [Escape] key as delete/cancel text entry/edit, but leave the text box selected on exit edit mode.
I MUCH prefer the way Indesign and Illustrator do this. Is there a way to make Photoshop and After Effects behave in the same manner with regards text editing?
Is there a way to exit text editing mode in Photoshop and After Effects without touching the mouse and without deleting any textual changes?
