Shortcut key for 2 columns in a text box
Shortcut key for 2 columns in a text box
Question
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.

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!
