Shortcut for flipping image within image frame?

[parkerbrown]

Whenever I want to flip an image (horiz. or vert.) in ID, I have to go into the Transform pallter and access the menu via the little arrow in the top right hand corner. This is tedious as I often like to flip images within their frame.

In Illy CS it is just a matter of pressing "o" to access the "Flip" tool" - is there a similar shortcut in ID CS? Or is this in CS2?

It seems to me that a lot of obvious shortcuts have been excluded from InDesign, that could have easily been incorporated.

Thanks!

As long as the Transform window is active, you can select the object and just type in 180 in the Rotation Angle box. The default key for activating the Transform window is F9 (at least on mac). To assign keystrokes to commands, or change them, go to Edit menu/Keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks, but that is still not as easy and fast as the Illustrator method.

When you are flipping a lot of images, it becomes annoying to stop and type in measurements every few seconds.
