    Default Is there a right-indent tab keystroke?

    In Quark, you can use option-tab to right-align just a portion of a line of text and not affect the text in that line that appears before it (such as a folio in a book: the page number would be aligned left and the name of the book would be aligned right, both on the same line of text). This would be achieved by left-aligning the entire line of text, then placing the cursor directly before the first letter of the title of the book and pressing option-tab.

    Is there a keystroke in InDesign that accomplishes the same thing? I'd hate to have to set a tab manually every time I need to achieve this effect. I guess I'm spoiled... ;)

    Thank you,

    Or, if you forget the keyboard shortcut: Type > Insert Special Character > Right Indent Tab.
