REMOVE THE FRUSTRATING LIGHT BULB "LEARN" FEATURE BEFORE I CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION!
I would curse here normally but I am trying to refrain, I have taken 10 minutes from my day today to see if this irritating feature that I have never used and even as a newcomer would never use either can be disabled as it infuriates me.
User experience research was not undertaken with this feature clearly as many of the community have voiced their frustrations with this exact feature.
REMOVE IT PLEASE, else I will look at cancelling the subscription just due to this, that's how irritating this pointless feature is, and this is not the first time Adobe…

Add Search in Preferences and make them user friendly
These are various recommendation to simplify preferences in all Adobe Applications.
• list groupings (ie General, Type, etc.) in alphabetical order
• or list groupings in logical order
example for the first three - General, User Interface, Performance...
• re-review all preference settings and reduce or simplify (Slices has two option?)
• incorporate a search function to provide the user the ability to quickly locate a specific preference (refer to Apple's System Preferences Search capability.)
• make preference category lists universal in title and order for all Adobe applications when possibleThe reason is, I wish to work and not…

Ability to open several documents from Recent section/menu
The Recent Section we're presented with when we first open Illustrator, we should be able to select multiple files to open, rather than just clicking one, and then having to "cmd O" or use the File Menu "open recent files" please just save me hours of my life.

Better ui for 'All Tools'
The All Tools addition to the Tools had great potential, but the implementation is not intuitive imho.
Why doesn't it allow to select the shown tools directly?
Why not make a search box / let it react to the keyboard, so a tool can be selected fast, without having it to add to the Toolbox?
E.g. a Spiral is needed once in a while, but is not necessary in the Toolbox.

Change behavior of scrolling out of bounds or overlapping panels
When dragging an element to the page or screen edge, the scrolling rate goes from 10px/second to 1000 and you spend most of your time trying to figure out how to go back far enough but not too far. If you go too far, you scroll 1000px in the other direction. All while you are holding a bunch of important elements that you don't want to release. It's unnerving and makes no sense. Make the scroll rate consistent even when scrolling out of bounds. Either that or don't let us scroll further our of bounds than the width or height…

Make Numpad targetable for shortcuts (not the same as above letters normal numbers)
Let we assign different shortcuts for the numpad than the normal numbers. I tried to assign and some doesn't work even when they don't conflict with other shortcuts.

「ビューを回転」で0°にスナップして欲しい
カンバスビューを回転出来るようになりましたが、リセットの操作をしなくても、回転させているときに0°に近くなったら0°にスナップする機能が欲しいです。
今は+-5°くらいでスナップしますが、このスナップはあまり必要ありません。4 votes -
Locked objects should not highlight at all when drag selecting over them
That’s the whole reason I lock them, so they’re not in the way and are ignored during complex selections. Highlighting them when mousing over? It goes against the very design principle of locking. So annoying to see these fundamental usability regressions at every turn with .ai lately.

Double clicking a Gradient Fill should open the Gradient Editor
Double clicking a Gradient Fill should open the Gradient Editor instead of the plain color picker.

Cloud file Versioning
I know this would be a huge lift, but cloud file versioning would be great. Beyond the obvious workflow advantages, it could facilitate working with cloud documents offline and syncing later without risking clobbering what's in there or attempting any sort of complex and error-prone diffing process.

Remove restrictions to useable keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl + Key for non-tools)
It would be great if the restrictions put in place for keyboard shortcuts regarding non-tools could be changed to include single key shortcuts (like tools). There is no valid reason that any of the File/ Edit/ Object/ Type/ Select/ Effect/ View/ Window shortcuts require using the Ctrl key. Indesign does this already just like many non-Adobe programs. It's time to change this.

This might actually be useful in other products but have an "open frequent" as well as open recent, if you have to load a file alot
I was thinking you could add hexadecimal count in file so only adding a byte of data but then what happens when you share files ect, I don't know if there is already a easy way already in the metadata you could implement it
Now I know you can create libraries to sort of do what I'm saying or bridge.
A couple of situations where it would be useful loading up logo for a frequent client or company you work for.
If you have been working on a project with a few different files day and night for months, then…

Keyboard shortcuts for switching Workspaces
In Premiere, I can quickly switch between Editing, Multicam and Color Correction workspaces via keyboard shortcuts. I don't understand why the same isn't possible in Illustrator? If you need to switch workspaces with the mouse via a dropdown menu, it negates a lot of the reason for using them in the first place (time savings) It seems even more essential in Illustrator than Premiere, because you typically switch between tasks much more quickly.

copy and paste at pre selected place in group shape hierarchy
When did this change… I am 100% sure in the past when trying to paste a shape within the layered structure of a grouped set of objects, ….prior to pasting you could (A) Direct select, or maybe even double-click isolate a place in that layered grouping of shapes to specify where you want your newly pasted shape to go. Before I could, copy - hit (A) direct select an object, and then when I hit CTRL-F or V… the pasted object/shape would sit on top of previously selected shape in that layered hierarchy. Now, there’s no recognition.. or option to…

Allow docked tool panels to stack one under another
For now a docked tool panel takes the whole column, not matter how short it is. It forces us to clump all custom tools in one panel. Normal panels can stack any way possible.
Please, give us the possibility to dock tool panels in rows too.Also look related request about separators in tool panels:

キーボードの複合キーに対応してください
片手が不重なため、キーボードのアクセシビリティ設定で複合キーの設定が欠かせないのですが、キーボードの複合キーに対応していないせいで、コマンド、シフト、オプションキーを使用した操作が一切できず困っています。

If you present us such a panel at the entrance, we will not need to memorize the template size in our social media works.

Can you please add the Outline Stroke to the Right-Click menu?
I love using illustrator and i use it a lot and while I'm working in it I've noticed I use the Object/Path/Outline Stroke command quite frequently, and it's rather time consuming to repeat these steps every time I need to outline a stroke. That being said I'd like to appeal to you that you'd consider adding the Outline Stroke option to the Right-Click mouse dropdown menu when a Stroke is selected. It would help a lot. Thanks!
