Tim Cole's InDesign BackChannel

Diane Burns is one of the founders of TechArt one of the very first Macintosh-based graphic design and "desktop publishing" firms in the country. She's a consultant, author, and conference speaker (among many other things), and is a specialist in double-byte language publishing. She is the only person I know who can credibly claim the title of the "Mother of Desktop Publishing" in Japan.

Diane shared this keyboard shortcut tip:

• Set Toggle between Preview and Normal View to Option/Alt+W. [Product Area: Tools; Command: Toggle between Preview and Normal View]
  
  
• The default keyboard shortcut is the W key, which forces you to use the mouse to enter Preview Mode, or switch out of the Text tool in order to use the keyboard shortcut. Diane's change enables you toggle in and out of InDesign's very useful Preview Mode easily with the text tool selected.
