    @MikeTO, @walt.farrell thank You for the answer.
    To update the hotkey of the move tool, in the list, I have to call up the item 'tools' instead of 'move tool'.

    Although the initial post talked about the "shortcut for the Move Tool" and for the Pen Tool, I see that the screenshot provided is for this section of the Shortcuts, Mike:

    However, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me with the description provided in that post, so I'm not sure what @publied is describing.

    I saw that but was confused and thought it was just the wrong screenshot.
    One trivial thing is that the order of shortcuts for the Move tool is different on macOS and Windows. The difference between the Reset and Serif Defaults buttons has already been logged.

    It might also be interesting to have guides associated with the  layer

    I'd like to offer some brief suggestions of what I believe would be a good start for scripting support. Clearly both InDesign and Quark have extensive scripting libraries but I think with some basic fundamentals a lot can be achieved. I believe the below would allow us to do about 80% of what we need.
    Ability to create objects (text frame, image frames and rules) of specific sizes at specific co-ordinates using a list of properties. (set myFrame to create frame (x-coord, y-coord, width, height, colour, tint, border, name, columns, inset etc, etc) 
    Ability to populate frames with text or images with ability to fit or scale as required (set story 1 of frame 1 to "myText.txt")
    Ability to assign styles to objects (set paragraph style of text frame 1 to "Heading 1")
    Ability to create new pages with properties for size, bleed, numbering, spreads etc
    Ability to reference selections (set border of selected frame to 0 -  set style of selection to "Bold")
    Ability to export using defined PDF Presets (export to myPath with PDF Preset "My Preset")
    Ability to address (or loop through) all objects on a pages (set background of all text frames on selected page to "Transparent")
    Ability to test for missing or broken links to assets
    Ability to create colour swatches, character or paragraph styles, PDF Presets
    Ability to create and manipulate layers
    Most importantly, the ability to query for any property related to an object (set myProperties to properties of my selection  ->  list of all available properties) This is incredibly useful for writing and debugging.

    Are there any plans to add scripting support?
    I notice there is no Applescript library at all but am interested to know if there are plans to add Applescript or perhaps Javascript support. Virtually everything we do as far as creating PDFs, packaging, placing images and text, formatting, proofing, sending pages to print etc is done via script.
    Tagged text goes hand-in-hand with scripting so I think this needs to also be supported.
