How to choose font with the keyboard arrows?

[DanielaIdo]

Why can not I switch between the fonts with the keyboard arrows? It hangs and does not show the continuation of the fonts (only the last ones I chose) and only with the mouse one by one it gives the selector. Uncomfortable. In the past I  choosed a font through the arrows on the keyboard and see the fonts on the selected text in the file.

Hi DanielaIdo:

Mac or Windows? Which version of InDesign?

In CC 2019, you can open the menu with your mouse, and as you move your mouse over the list, the text on the page will reflect the font you are hovering over. However, I can still tap the up/down arrow keys (with the Fonts menu on the Control panel open or closed) to navigate the entire list of fonts.

I have Windows, Indesign cc 2019.

With the mouse I know that it is move when I over the font.

But I like to move with the arrow keys and I do not understand what "font menu on the contro panel" you are talking about.

Now I tried to move with arrow keys with the "character windows" but it is stuck the Indesign.
