escape full screen
Why does the Escape key exit the user from full screen mode in Illustrator. Why does Illustrator not behave like Photoshop?
The F key could cycle through the different screen modes: Full screen, Full Screen with Menu Bar, Full Screen Mode.
Escape should have no effect on this because it's used while drawing or typing.

I think Adobe should purchase TypeStyler and incorporate it into iIllustrator. It would be a fantastic addition .
Adobe should purchase TypeStyler and incorporate it as a portion of Illustrator. It would be a fantastic addition. I use it all the time but the developer doesn't seem to keep it up to speed with Illustrator.

Turn off Snap to Pixel by default for RGB documents
I don't know why this suddenly appeared as a default, but there should be a way to ALWAYS turn off Snap-to-pixel. I have to turn it off every time I open a new file.

Non-breaking space (NBSP) should work
AI ignores NBSP when it's places as symbol. 'No break' option is an option but ridiculously hard to be applied quickly. Anyway NBSP should work
40 votesIllustrator Beta 29.2.10 now supports Nonbreaking space (U+00A0).
It can also be added with Type > Insert WhiteSpace Character > Nonbreaking Space command.
Please try this build and see if it works for you as expected.
My sincere congratulations to everyone. This symbol means a lot!

Regression: Illustrator CC saves each instance of symbol in .ai file separately
How to reproduce this problem in Illustrator СС:
Create clean AI file with A4 page.
Place any pixel image (with size ~10 mb) embedded to this page. Save file, it will have size about ~10 mb)
Make this image as symbol and remove object from page.
Place symbol to page one time.
Save file. File size will be, eg, ~10 mb.
Now place same symbol to page more 4 times, total will be 5 images on page.
Save file and check size - it will be increased to ~50 mb.
As result, you will have ai file, containing only 5…

Editable stroke profiles
Add a robust window where you can non-destructively edit the stroke profile (maybe with Bezier handles). This would allow users to taper strokes beyond the good but limited presets in real time.

I hope CS5.6 sale
私はＣＳ３使用時の機能要望をいくつか取り入れて戴いたＣＳ５．５ユーザーです。
ＣＣは経済的負担が大きいので使っていません。
Ｗｉｎ１０にＣＳ５．５を入れましたが、特に問題なく使えています。
ＣＣになってからデザイン業界を除く個人ユーザーが更新しなくなり、
古いバージョンのまま使っているユーザーが多いのは認識されているはずです。
画面デザイン的に繫がりがあるのがＣＳ５．５までで、
ＣＳ６からは大きく変更になりました。
ＯＳが実質Ｗｉｎ１０だけになり、動作環境の面でバージョンアップを迫られているユーザーが多いはずですが、
それでもＣＣは無理と考える人が大多数です。
バージョンアップしたいユーザーが受け入れやすいＣＳ５．５をベースに、
パッケージ（売り切り）版を再販して貰えば、需要がある事は明らかです。
ここで、最低２つの機能改善を行い、ＣＳ５．６としてリリースしてはどうでしょう。
機能改善は、
１．描画編集中などにナビゲーター画面が逐一全画面更新され、データが重いとスマートガイドやコピー＆ペーストなどのキー動作が不安定になる。長い文字の入力編集中は特に酷い。これを極端な話、ナビゲータ画面に付けた「更新」ボタンを押すまで画面更新しなくていいようにする。
２．現状、文字の縁取りが文字の塗りの上になっているが、文字の塗りの下に設定できるようにする。これで一々「文字を全てコピー」「背面ペースト」「縁取り設定」をやらずに済む事になり、データが軽くなり、修正も楽になる。なぜ今までこれが出来ないのか不思議と思える基本的な機能です。1 vote -
An option so anchor points within a user specified proximity of the selected anchor point will move relative to it.
So many times have I found a need for an option like this. An option where you would be able to move an anchor point, and the surrounding points would move relative to it.
Some complex vector images with lots of anchor points can be hard to reshape, whereas, instead of moving every single anchor point to expand a section or redoing it, you would select a single point, and the surrounding points would move relative to it's position.

Percentage calculation of object space
Hello! Wondering if illustrator can have the capability to fill a certain percentage of an area/object.

New symbol info window should retain properties of previously created symbol
When creating a new symbol, it should remember not only the export type, but the symbol type and registration as well, instead of having it default to dynamic-center every time. Usually when creating symbols, they are of the same type as the last. This is how Flash handled symbols way back in the day and it was an invaluable time saver for projects containing dozens of clips (such as site plan artwork).

Fix it so that it isn't so laggy and so that keyboard shortcuts work (on a Mac)
Fix Illustrator so that on a Mac the performance isn't so slow and laggy that I can count to 13 before menus drop down, and I end redoing so many things because the lag caused me to overclock. Keyboard shortcuts don't work either, 99% of the time. Used to be great software, but now it is almost unusable. It's lack of performance ate up at last 65% of my work time. It takes hours now because of lag time to do something that would have taken 30 minutes in vision 2018 and earlier. I have no lag or performance issues…

Area and perimeter information on every selected object
Area and perimeter information on every selected object.
It was available on CS3 version for exemple and it was very helpful for us architects.
The window was called CAD tracker and the geometry part was super practical.
Please, include it in the new version !!3 votesThe team has started working on this request. As a first step they want to understand the requirements correctly and build the right feature set based on the feedback gathered.

Change a group of vector's stroke size relative to each other, thicker or thinner, at the same time. Like Word's font up & font down button
Change a group of vectors' stroke size relative to each other, thicker or thinner, at the same time. Like Word's font up & font down button.
Right now it's frustrating when you transform size down a drawing with multiple stroke sizes. The strokes are then too thick. But if you have multiple stroke widths, there is no way to reduce them in size relative to each other so the drawing keeps the same look.

Disable CC Libraries in Illustrator
I would like the option to Disable the use of Libraries in Illustrator.
I can close the panel but every time I create a new colour swatch the panel reappears. This isn't helpful for the way I work so I'm looking for a way to turn off this feature.
As I am self employed and don't collaborate with others, all my colours are saved within the document they are relevant to which is why I would like to turn off this feature.

Complete user-defined default settings
The work I do for my company has certain defaults that go beyond the layout of my workspace. I only use one font, I always need the same set of color swatches, I use the same tolerance amounts, etc. I export to PDFs the same way every time, I essentially need the same options. (And even with a template, I have to start from scratch for many of these options.)
While I can save certain usual elements in my CC Library, I waste so much time saving and opening and searching. AND even then, I still have to reset the…
