Alignment combo
A big set of scripts, that can be combined with shortcuts to save you a lot of time! All alignment/distribute options are done with a double click to run the script, or a key combo of your choice as a shortcut.
See Profe Ivan’s video (in Spanish) showing how he uses this combo of scripts. It’s awesome to see it in real-world scenario. Or watch the Demo Video (no language) for a quick tutorial.
This custom script helps you keep objects Aligned and Distributed properly in Adobe InDesign.

This set of Alignment Scripts is one that I use most often for my personal use.
Each script runs a series of actions based on the selected object(s).
Read below for details on exactly how each script works.
Assign a keyboard shortcut to each script to quickly align a single object to the page, or multiple selected objects to each other!
byLFC_align bottom edges.jsx (I use Shift+B)
1) with ONE object selected, align it to the bottom margin of the page;
2) with TWO OR MORE objects in the selection, align them to the lowest point in the selection;
3) with TWO OR MORE WITH KEY OBJECT, align them to the lowest point of the key object in the selection.
byLFC_align distribute horizontal spaces.jsx (I use Shift+Alt+H)
Distribute the selected objects in the page, keeping the horizontal spaces the same.
