Allow to cut path with a drag rather than a click when using Scissors
I want the Scissors tool to be able to cut paths like the Knife does, with a click-and-drag, splitting a path at an intersection of straight/freeform (straight by default) drawn line with a path (ideally prioritizing selected ones over others, like requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/36111436)
I’m rather tired of seeing this loud modal dialog when I don’t have Smart Guides enabled and miss a line (because the tool doesn’t have enough feedback by modern times’ standards: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44725546)
Take a look at the fake GIF I made to show how it should work.
A single click should still work.
This new option should have a tweakable tolerance, a minimal distance we need to drag to get it detected as a drag-cut.
Probably it should allow to choose if it should make first cut only or detect all intersections with a cut line.
No, Knife tool behaves differently, compare yourself.
And finally make this screaming message into a shy message.
I still want to get one, but not as disruptive. Take a look at this request:
Make ability to make warnings show in background and not in dialogue windows

BTW, it seems like Knife in latest builds stopped respecting Smart Guides...
