I am looking for a shortcut key for columns in text boxes. I know that there is probably not one and that I would have to create it, but I don't know what you would call it in the shortcut menu.

I also know that I can go to text frame options to change the columns, but I want to click one button and have two columns. Is this possible. I use two or three columns A LOT! I would love to have a shortcut key for this.

: Why does the color model still matter? In applications like inDesign and Photoshop, you get to chose which color model you want to use, RGB or CMYK for instance. But why does this matter?

Personally, I love keyboard shortcuts, but not everyone does. While it is definitely not as "one-click" as @Scott 's answer, I still feel it is extremely efficient.

Pressing Ctrl/Command+B will bring up the Text Frame Options. Conveniently, the current number of columns is selected by default. Now you can just type the number of columns you want (such as 3) and press Enter/Return. No mouse interaction needed at all!

Unfortunately there is no shortcut available, not even a custom one (that I can find, in the program or online)

This means that your only other alternative is to find or write a script that will increase the number of columns for you and then assign that script to a keyboard shortcut.

Otherwise you will need to continue to adjust this setting manually.

You can use the control bar.....

The up arrow button would constitute 1 click.
