  1. Add "Apply to all" to Embedded Profile Mismatch window

    When opening a document that has lots of linked images in a different color space, having to press OK on every single prompt takes quite a long time.

    My suggestion is to add an "Apply to all" checkbox to this window so I can instantly open the document. Attached is the windows I'm referencing.

  2. Move document tabs under cursor when closing documents

    When closing multiple document tabs using the X button on the side of the tab, the next document will move under the cursor. However, the tab size changes based on window size, filename length, etc. A better way would be to resize tab length after the cursor is moved away. The result would be that if you close Tab 1, Tab 2 would slide over and the X button would appear under the cursor. Many tabs could be easily closed without moving the cursor.

    An example of software that uses this UI is Safari on Mac. Chrome does it too,…

  3. An option to hide the HEX field in Color or make it pop in RGB/HSB only

    Starting version 27.6.1, we are given a permanent HEX field in Color panel, following these two request:
    1. https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/38816713-make-the-hex-code-box-visible-for-all-color-modes
    2. https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/37009090-show-hex-value-in-swatch-panel

    But some users do not like seeing it all the time and would like to be able to disable it, or at least pop only for RGB and HSB only.

    Please add this option into Color panel’s flyout menu.

  4. I want to control how many pop-ups I see.

    I'm just trying to work, Adobe, but all the pop-ups are driving me mad! The tool tips are fine, but to be working away and be bombarded with this pop-up telling me to share my work and then another asking if I know how to do such-and-such.... I discover new features on my own whenever the app is updated, and if I want to find out anything else, I know how to do that. I don't need constant reminding. Please, please please, Adobe, please let this be a preference setting that can be turned off.

  5. Shortcut to toggle visibility of Contextual Task Bar

    It would be useful for this tool to allow the user to hide/show this Contextual Task Bar using a single keyboard shortcut.

  7. Add 'Apply to All' button for 'Embedded colour profile mismatch' dialog box (like the missing linked file dialog box)

    Add 'Apply to All' button for 'Embedded colour profile mismatch' dialog box (like there is for the missing linked file dialog box). When opening files with lots of linked photos/images it is annoying to have to click through multiple pop-ups of this dialog. See screenshot.

  8. Menu Item Move Between Creative Cloud Apps

    Suggest adding a menu selected item to navigate between CC apps. When working in AI and need to move image to PS there is no shortcut for this. Moving between Plugins is way easer. May be include a menu selected or button to quickly move the image.

  9. Overwriting Existing Workspaces and Toolbars

    If I wanted to update my custom Workspace, I can create a new Workspace and give it the same name as before. When I do that, I am warned that the name already exists, and that clicking 'OK' will overwrite the old one. This is great. But if I try the same process for updating a custom Toolbar, it makes me choose another name. Then I have to remember where these files are stored in the Finder, go to that location, delete the old Toolbar, and rename the new one. Please make the process for updating an existing Toolbar as…

  10. Synchronise tiled windows

    I would like to have all tiled windows use the same panning and zoom settings as the window I am currently working in.

    • How it's working now: each tiled window has its own zoom factor. Panning with the hand tool moves the view inside the active window.
    • How it should work: zoom and panning are synched between all tiled windows. They all have the same zoom factor and X/Y position. If I zoom in the active window, all other windows zoom in as well; if I pan in one window, all other windows pan in the same manner.

  11. GRID in BACK/FRONT button

    It would be great to have the option of GRID ON BACK and GRID IN FRONT in the Properties panel, for example. near the SHOW GRID button as when working with GRIDS sometimes it's better to have them in front and others in back and for this I have always to get into the Preferences panel so as to activate/deactivate this option and it's really annoying...

  13. Add Focus Fill and Focus Stroke commands we can assign hotkeys to

    Illustrator focuses either a fill or a stroke to be set.
    We can control the focus with the hardcoded X key, that toggles fill and stroke, but it also requires to know which is active at the moment to know if we should press it.

    It’d be faster for professional user to actually force the stroke or the fill to be active, with dedicated absolute keys instead of relative ones.

    I’d use something Alt+X and Alt+Shift+X (these are free), or remapped them to something even more simpler.

    There is a related request:
    Absolute mode that always sets a fill a…

  15. Don't reset view rotation when pressing Escape

    When you are in a rotated view, pressing Escape resets the rotation to zero degrees. This is frustrating when you're merely trying to exit Object Isolation or exit text editing.

    There does not seem to be a Keyboard Shortcut for this operation, which I would expect to see.

  16. Files should remember proof setup

    Every time I open my files I'm having to force Illustrator back to proof as Monitor RGB. It keeps defaulting to Working CMYK which is no use on an RGB file.

    It would be great if files retained proof settings.

  18. Text to Vector Graphics (Beta) Feature: Delete multiple Variations

    Hello,

    Please add the option to delete multiple AI generated variations.

    At this moment, if you hit the limit of generated variations, you are only able to select and delete 1 at a time, (which is very time consuming) instead of selecting multiple variations for deletion.

  19. Move Blend Mode keyboard shortcuts from the Tools into the Menu Commands section

    If you open Keyboard Shortcuts, make sure you have Tools selected, scroll all the way down, you’ll see all 'Blend Mode - [name of the mode]' commands there — empty, ready to be assigned... but. Opt/Alt cant’ be used for these. Because these are in tooools. Which means these can be bound only to naked keys and Shift+keys. Which are all taken, long time ago!

    So please move Blend Mode keyboard shortcuts from the Tools section into the Menu Commands section, so we can use all possible modifiers for these, and not only Shift.

    Also, why do we even have…

  20. Package and Export for Screens / Assets: Same As Current Document Folder button

    BTW, same button is needed in Export for Screens / Assets dialog.
