Use the keyboard shortcut demonstrated in this sequence to toggle between Character and Paragraph controls and speed things up.

In InDesign Leading is a character attribute, and not a paragraph attribute. Because of this, when you work with leading in InDesign it’s important that you highlight the range of characters whose leading you want to change.
