Type menu in InDesign's order; Character ⌘T, Paragraph ⌥⌘T and Current Page Number ⌥⇧⌘N

Chris Nielsen's "Numbering Page Sections" (2:09) reaches Insert Special
Character › Markers › Current Page Number through InDesign's Type menu:
Font, Size, Character, Paragraph, Tabs, Glyphs, Story, the style panels,
Create Outlines, Find Font, Change Case, Type on a Path, Notes, Track
Changes, the footnote and endnote items, Hyperlinks & Cross-References,
Text Variables, Bulleted & Numbered Lists, the insert submenus, Fill with
Placeholder Text and Show Hidden Characters. DesignCraft's began with Find/
Replace Font and Create Outlines and held alignment, Bold/Italic and point
size steps InDesign keeps out of its menus.

- Size ▸ (6–72 pt), Character, Paragraph, Glyphs, Character Styles,
  Paragraph Styles (InDesign's shortcuts: ⌘T, ⌥⌘T, ⌥⇧F11, ⇧⌘F11, ⌘F11),
  then InDesign's order. Notes ▸ holds New Note and the Notes panel.
- Current Page Number carries ⌥⇧⌘N (app.insertCurrentPageNumber).
- Alignment, Bold/Italic/Underline/All Caps, point size steps and
  Paragraph Rules leave the menu; their shortcuts and panel buttons stay.
- DesignCraft's math and CJK items follow after Show Hidden Characters.
- Labels "Bulleted & Numbered Lists" and "Show Hidden Characters", with
  translations.
