Hide or gray out panels on second screen, if InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator etc. is in background / currently not in use.
When I am working with 2 or 3 or more Adobe Programs at same time, I have all the panels from all the programms on a second screen. If just one programm is open, then it is fine. But if there are more Adobe Programs running like Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and so on at same time, the screen is full of panels. There are no way to distinguish which panel belongs to which program. That disturbs the workflow. Back in the time of Windows XP and CS products, the panels of the Programs that were not currently used were grayed…

Newly added item/layer place on layer above rather than below
when designer designs a page, it is natural to design from top to bottom. But currently when I add a new item on a page, Illustrator create a new layer ABOVE my last item/layer, and it makes things hard to find and hard to organize. If we can reverse the order of a new layer created, to match a natural work flow, it would be extremely helpful. Please see the screenshot on what I mean.

Ability to make the image flush left in the window instead of centred
Currently I have to enlarge the image until it pops out of the frame, and then I can work on the zoomed in area, but it would be nice to have the ability to make it flush left. This would better utilize the frame when I have tabs open. My current workaround is arranging the frames 4-up, and then sliding the other windows over.

I request that the print tiling tool be as easily accessible as it was in previous versions, it is currently too well hidden :)
it used to be an option nested with the #HandTool in your toolbar.

Simple requests go unnoticed.
There is a function in Illustraor that allows selection by whole or by path and it is called: Object selection by path only. It is in the prefs under selection tab. This SHOULD BE also in the top bar as VERY often I need to switch it when working on paths, especially in shadows work.

Mini Map
Hello Adobe Team. I really don't know why you don't implement a little MINIMAP into Adobe Illustrator that provides a little preview of the actual work and makes it possible to zoom in by clicking on it. Working with Illustrator would be much easier if I had a little map window where I could just click on a section of my artwork and zoom straight to that point. So I wouldn't have to zoom in and adjust again and again after zooming out. And I could always see the whole picture. Maybe it's nonsense or not possible but I think…

Masking simple and fast objects - Quo Vadis My Pallete?
Masking simple and fast objects - Quo Vadis My Pallete?
Illustrator has several practical methods for masking objects. Bravo and thank you!But in practice...
object masking is superimposed and confusing. I know what I write. I use Illustrator 20 years at work and iine applications.On the forum you can also find many problems or ideas to improve this section. Dear Adobe team, you can certainly improve it.
Best Regards!

Automatically move to input box when selecting a transform option
This would improve workflow by allowing users to not have to click on the input box when transforming a layer. It actually used to be a feature but was removed for reasons I'm not aware of.

CTRL + Spacebar = Zoom in and Out like Photoshop
Not sure why this isn't the same between Photoshop and Illustrator but currently when you press CTRL + Spacebar in Illustrator you get a marquee tool to zoom into a specific location. This should match the zoom in and out function in Photoshop. Or, allow the user to change preferences to an easy check box to enable users to zoom in and out using CTRL + Spacebar like in Photoshop.

Increase MORE +++ the anchors points size. The actual option is not ENOUGH Is very difficult to work..
The actual size options seems a joke, I work with 3ds max, and there you can select very easy the vectors points, in illustrator it is a Nightmare.

Warn if Appearance Attributes are going to be lost (when ungrouping, etc.)
Because there's a lot of people that don't know what's going on.

Add "Sort Libraries" feature to the library palette
Assets in Libraries can be sorted (e.g. "by date" or "by name") - but if you manage (and share) several libraries, they cannot be sorted.
On the cloud web front end libraries CAN be sorted, but this sorting will not be updated in the application palettes.
For clarity reasons, this feature should be included ASAP.

Shorter toolbar size
Hi, any chance of being able to have an option of a shorter version of the Tools palette. When I have it set to single column using a 15" MacBook this runs off the bottom of the screen. I know I could set it to double column but I like to have a maximum working area. Just a thought…
