  1. Opacity control via incremental change

    need the option to be able to bind incremental opacity levels to just 2 buttons(+ &- values)Example: pressing J to increase by a value of 1 or keeping it pressed to increased by a value of 1 every 0.2sec; and vice-versa for another key.
    Without needing to be hovering the opacity panel.

  4. An option to ignore locked layers with the Eyedropper tool

    At the moment, if you have a locked layer above the layer you are working in, the Eyedropper tool selects colors and properties of the top layer — the locked layer — instead of the (unlocked) layer you are working on.

    This causes frustration as every time you want to eyedrops something, you have to make a bunch of layers invisible first.

    If an option could be added to the Eyedropper tool, such as "ignore locked layers", this problem would be gone completely and working with Illustrator would be a lot smoother and faster.

    This could be an option under…

  5. Offset path feature won't become a sharp

    Why if I have a curve that has several very small (sharp) angles, when I enter it in the offset path feature (+ offset), then the offset result can't be sharp anyway. but if (-) is offset, then can it turn sharp?

  6. Image export both type and art optimized

    For exporting web banners, my routine is to export one image art optimized and one image type optimized, aftwerwards stack them in Photoshop and unmask the type optimized version where text is visible.

    I would appreciate an option of "art and type" that automatically interprets the type as type and the images as images so that I can skip the whole process after the export.

  7. 右クリック メニュー

    オブジェクトを選択してすぐに、右クリックでメニューを出したくてもでません。数秒空けるか、カーソルを少しズラすか、control+左クリックであればメニューが出るのですが、CS時代の操作方法に慣れているので、オブジェクトを選択して即座に右クリックができる方が断然使いやすいので、改善してください。

  8. Export EPS with latex

    The open source Inkscape has the feature where you could edit any text as latex in the EPS-file after exporting it. This makes all scientists and other users of latex mega-happy. This is the easiest way to format the text to fit the latex document, and to add nice math writings to the figure in the blink of an eye, instead of the tedious work of writing the correct font and special math symbols in Illustrator.

    Could Ai please add the feature of generating something similar to what is documented here: http://tug.ctan.org/info/svg-inkscape/InkscapePDFLaTeX.pdf ?

    I believe this is easy and quickly…

  9. Disable default shortcuts

    Illustrator has an insane number of available shortcuts all enabled by default. As a casual user of Illustrator, I end up accidentally pressing a random configuration of keys simultaneously, only to then have to spend half an hour figuring out what happened and which keys I need to press to undo my mistake.

    Some of the default shortcuts are simply too advanced for casual users and should be disabled by when starting on a new account.

  11. Paste into selected object

    Very easy to paste easily from the clipboard to the selected object.
    ⌘ + alt + shift = paste into selected object.

    Currently, the option is complicated and not intuitive. A lot of time.
    Best Regards

  13. Image fitting options like Indesign, Sketch and Figma

    Would really be handy to have fit to crop, resize to crop etc. for linked images.

  14. Transformations with constrained randomizations

    Randomize transformations but constrain them to multiples of set increments, eg 45°, 20° or 2mm, 10mm. Randomize colors. Apply transform to a percentage of objects (or a random percentage). Apply random to each transform individually, eg, rotate, move, not globally as now.

  15. Mirror Buttons

    Mirror buttons (vertical and horizontal) directly on the control bar.
    Also, implement this feature in Photoshop.
    ...instead of "image/transform/flip..." overtime we need to mirror an image.

  17. Make the Templates folder write enabled

    Can't save Template, due to permissions of the folder.

  20. Make the preview of the Arabic computer Fonts connected to each other

    During our selection of one of the Arabic fonts, the font preview in the list is incorrect in the Arabic letter and it is intermittent instead of being connected as is the case with letters in the Arabic language
