While the shortcuts for "universal" punctuation is nifty, many of them are totally different on keyboard layouts for other languages than US English. At least on the mac. Perhaps make a tip on how to find them in general?
If you are revamping a document manually, a catalog for example, and you have moved lots of items to new places but can't remember what page you have left the XYZ widget. The Index pallet can be a great shortcut if you have marked SKUs or descriptions with index markers. Just open the index pallet and drill down and click the X triangle pointer, it will show you where in the document you have moved it. Additionally if you have duplicates, or have left XYZ on the pasteboard. it will show you that.
BONUS: The fly away window has a goto marker option so that you can immediately go to the item.
Thanks!
