Share for Review link name
I can see that name of my link, when preparing to share to client, but then I copy the link, ant it's name is really not with that name, that my document is, or I written in link name field. The link appears ugly and long.
It would be better to send the link to client with short name, that don't look like unsecured link

Swatch icons background color & size feature so that the swatches could be distinguished also if are a white pattern on a transparent bg
Issue is described here:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/can-i-change-the-swatch-icon-background-color/m-p/13293140#M340515
The largest swatch icon size is too small to be able to distinguish different patterns, need larger icons option.4 votes -
attributi testo
Sarebbe bello avere aggiunta la funzione "copia attributi" / "incolla attributi" nel testo così come negli oggetti, quindi uno shortcut da tastiera per, ad esempio, attribuire un font o aggiungere un grassetto o corsivo a singole parole all'interno di un testo (FreeHand lo faceva ed era comodissimo)

Please show document name in full screen mode too
When in Full Screen mode (MacOS), the top bar shows 'Adobe Illustrator 2022', but not the name of the document (which is much more relevant ;-)
please show the document name.4 votes -
Import SVG fails to load images correctly when linked via a use tag with the source provided in the defs
The import SVG feature does not correctly load images when using a use tag that links to an image in the defs list.
The issues with the import are the following:
1. The image is incorrectly placed in the clipping group, despite one not being present in the svg.
2. Two strange clipping path triangles are incorrectly added to the clipping group that completely hides the images.
3. The art board is also incorrect and not placed around the design.I created a small svg example that has an image that is linked twice within the design.

Dual Colour Values for Each Colour Swatch for CMYK and RGB Modes
I use brand colours that have specific colour values in CMYK and RGB. When I create a design in RGB and then have to convert it to CMYK for print I have to import the CMYK swatches after changing the document colour mode to CMYK and then globally replace all the colours. I would like it if when you define a swatch you can have an option to give it an RGB value for RGB mode and a CMYK value for CMYK mode. Then you could switch between colour modes without having to deal with new swatches and colour replacement.…

AI Reference Guide - Downloadable
I would love to see a return of a downloadable reference guide / user manual. I want the ability to read through it offline, occasionally print the page that's pertinent to my task, and have a book that is physically on my desk (not the desktop).. FYI, on this page (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/faq.html), under Learning Illustrator > Where can I find the manual, the answer is: "You can find web and PDF versions of the Illustrator manual on the Illustrator Help page." I'm still looking for that PDF...

A tint percentage slider in swatch options (like InDesign)
If a tint of a global colour has been added to the swatches the percentage cannot be adjusted. If you double click on the tint it brings up the swatch options panel for the colour the tint is based on, but there is no option to change the tint strength.
Can it be the same as InDesign - when you double click on the tint there is a tint slider available in the swatch options panel?

Non-destructive edits like smart objects, for Puppet Warp and others
Non-destructive edits like smart objects. For example Puppet Warp currently it is destructive. How nice would it be for the original to still be there like Photoshop’s smart objects?!

Move overset text icon further away from bottom corner handle
When working with threaded text in Illustrator it is difficult to select the overset text icon since it is so close to the bottom right handle of the bounding box. If I am zoomed out I always end up accidentally clicking the bottom right handle instead of the overset text icon.
If it was moved halfway between the middle right handle and the bottom right it would be easier to click on from a distance. I made an image showing how it is now and how I think it would work better. Thank you!

Unembed filename and format
I don't get why images can't be unembedded in the original format they were embedded in, but assuming there's some internal format limitation, there's certainly no reason why all the unembedded images should default to the generic "AI_Image.psd" filename when you have the original filename right there in the links palette!!!!
Throw us a bone here, please!4 votes -
Adding an mascot assistant
As the Photoshop has a banana, we want mascot assistant, like the Microsoft clippy. It would work like this: when you are idle in the illustrator with new blank document it would pop up suggesting random design prompts like: "hey why won't you design the logo for the fish food' or "make a brand for the fruit vendor'

Better implementation of Actions
Do a better implementation of Actions. More like Photoshop.
Some of the menu itens are not recorded in Actions, and others even with the Insert Menu item, still won't record the custom settings of it, and everytime you play that action, it will bring default values to it and open context menu to you to reenter parameters.
This must be implemented correctly, direclty with the record and not that patch "Insert Menu Item" option that exist today.
You should only hit record, do the menu options (even the Effects ones), and it must record it with all custom config you…4 votes -

Touch workspace for desktop Wacom Cintiq
I use illustrator on desktop PC with a Wacom Cintiq 16. I am baffled as to why the touch workspace is not available. I have been informed it is only available on Surface but I use a stylus exclusively on desktop and the touch optimised workspace would be ideal. I regularly switch from desktop to iPad , I would like there to be workflow continuity.

Show only existing separations
In the palette separation preview, display only colors that are actually present in the image. If the image does not contain process colors (CMYK) or one of them, it will be excluded from the list.

Hitting Tab To Rename A Layer Targets That Layer
Thanks for implementing the ability to move up and down when renaming layers!
Unfortunately, the function has limited applicability for me, because unless I can determine what the layer is, from the tiny layer thumbnail, I don't actually know what to name the layer.
Consider a geometric character design. Perhaps the ears are circles; the eye whites are circles; the pupils are circles; the glasses are circles, the knees and elbows are circles; the hair is a bunch of circles etc etc etc.
I need the shapes to be highlighted when I'm renaming them so that I know what to…

新規作成時のドキュメントウィンドウの全画面表示について
アプリケーションフレームをOFFにした状態でドキュメントの新規作成をすると、ドキュメントウィンドウが全画面で配置され、左右のツールパネルの下に潜り込んで表示されます。
毎回ドキュメント全体を表示させるのに、ドキュメントウィンドウをドラッグしてサイズを小さくし、パネルとの重なりをなくすひと手間が入ります。
※ツールパネルはフロート状態ではなく固定しています。Photoshopのように（またはイラレでアプリケーションフレームを使用した時と同じように）ツールバーやパネルに重ならないようにドキュメントウィンドウを表示する仕様にはならないでしょうか。
またはそれができる設定はあるのでしょうか。4 votes -
Allow sub-groups to be seen when re-linking to CC Library for quicker workflow
Sub-groups in libraries are super helpful for locating an asset quickly, but when you're re-linking an asset to the CC Library the Sub-Groups disappear and you have to scroll through hundreds of images across all brands and categories hoping to find the right image.
