InDesign users often need to manage various settings, including their custom keyboard shortcuts. However, exporting keyboard shortcuts is a specific function, separate from exporting the document itself.
Based on the information provided:
The reference you included, *"Ctrl + E This will export the document. If using Apple devices, it would be cmd instead of ctrl, and option instead of alt. You can create a title by utilizing the type tool to create a text box wherever you would like on the InDesign document."*, describes how to export an InDesign document and how to add a title within the document*.
This process is used for saving your InDesign project in various formats (like PDF, JPEG, etc.) for sharing or printing, not for exporting your saved keyboard shortcut sets.
Exporting Your InDesign Document
While the reference doesn't cover exporting keyboard shortcuts, it correctly describes the command for exporting your active InDesign document:
- Windows: Press
Ctrl + E - macOS: Press
Cmd + E
Using this command opens the Export dialog box, where you can choose the desired format and settings for your document export.
Adding a Title to Your Document
The reference also mentions: "You can create a title by utilizing the type tool to create a text box wherever you would like on the InDesign document."
This refers to the standard method of adding text elements, such as a title, directly onto your InDesign page layout using the Type tool (T). You draw a text box, type your text, and format it as needed within the document design itself. This text becomes part of the exported document when you use the Export command (Ctrl + E or Cmd + E).
To summarize the information from the provided reference:
| Action | Command (Windows) | Command (macOS) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Export Document | Ctrl + E |
Cmd + E |
Opens the Export dialog to save the current document in various formats. |
| Add Title | N/A (Tool) | N/A (Tool) | Use the Type tool to create a text frame and type a title directly on the page. |
Please note that the provided reference focuses solely on exporting the document and adding text within the document, not on the process of exporting custom keyboard shortcut sets from InDesign's preferences.
