Alt/Option-click on the "New style" icon to open a text style definition dialog directly
It would be a giant leap forward for Illustrator to match InDesign's UX for paragraph and character styles management.
Allow us to Alt/Option-click on the "New style" icon to open the style definition dialog directly, avoiding nonsense names like "Paragraph Style 1."
The same approach is used for Graphic Styles, so it should be allowed for text styles as well.
Original idea by Alan Gilbertson

Custom keyboard shortcuts for File Commands should work when no document is open.
Because custom keyboard shortcuts only work when a file is open, some File Commands like New from Template don't work when you would need it.

It could be a system that automatically creates design examples with the content we provide
It could be a system that automatically creates design examples with the content we provide. For example, you can think of it like in the Powerpoint application. Let's randomly add the content we have to a page and let it show us a few random design examples. It doesn't have to be perfect, it could just be at an idea level, maybe?

Make it easy to colour pie charts using colour libraries.
Unable to use the libraries colour menu to colour a pie chart. This is ridiculous. I had to make a separate box on the page and use the eyedropper to transfer the colour to the pie chart. Even the Eyedropper wouldn't work directly with the colour in the colour library and that is where all our brand colours are stored.

Artboard instant activation by mouse hover
Currently you to have select the artboard first by left click inside the area, inorder to apply certain operations.
Can there be a toggle option to auto select or activate an artboard whenever mouse hover it? we don't need to click every time to make it active. It saves loads of clicks if you have a complex project with multiple artboards.2 votes -
Golden Ratio Option in the Character Panel
I would like to suggest adding a Golden Ratio option to the Character Panel for selected typefaces. This feature could help users easily establish a clear visual hierarchy by automatically calculating proportional font sizes for headings, subheadings, and body text.
Such an addition would streamline the process of creating balanced and aesthetically pleasing typography, ensuring that readers can quickly and intuitively distinguish between various text levels.
Thank you for considering this enhancement. It would be a valuable tool for designers aiming to achieve professional and harmonious typographic layouts.

An ability to select objects only within the marquee, as in CorelDRAW
Is it possible to select items in a way similar to CorelDRAW, where only those within the selection box are selected, and those that touch the selection box but are not enclosed by it are not selected, even if they touch the box? I hope there can be an additional selection option for this.
0 votesRecent versions of Illustrator now offer the Enclosed mode we can toggle while using the selection marquee.
It was requested here originally, and is still quite raw, but can help in some cases. Please follow the comment thread there for more solutions.

Hide/Show all text appearances in the Appearance panel
Have the option to hide/show all appearances in the appearance panel, not just individual ones.
When working with text, having the computer constantly redraw appearances — slows the workflow. The ability to hide all would drastically improve performance, especially on text with multiple strokes/complex fills.3 votes -
Explode Command
There's a command in Autodesk 3ds max called "explode", it will ungroup a group of elements and all sub-groups under it, so if there's a group that includes multiple levels of sub-groups, they will all explode to individual elements or objects, would love to see that in Illustrator and Photoshop

More templates for phones
Would be great to have consideration of other mobile phone devices on market, not just focusing on Apple. Or remove the Apple phones & just have the sizes on handsets.

Allow appearances to apply to linked files
Linked documents (i.e. other .ai files) can't have their appearance modified.
I.e. if I have a vector design.ai, I can place it in another .ai document however no stroke or fill options actually apply to the file.
This makes scenarios where you have to invert the vector design.ai difficult without custom SVG filters to help try influence the linked document.

Bei einem Update vom Illustrator sollten bereits in den Presets vorhandene Skripte übernommen werden.
Nach einem Versionsupdate müssen bereits verwendete eigene Skripte manuell in den Presets-Ordner kopiert werden. Dies sollte beim Update automatisch geschehen.

New Tool Suggestion: Color Harmony Tool
Dear Adobe Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to propose the development of a new Color Harmony Tool for Adobe Illustrator. As a designer who frequently uses Illustrator for creating artwork, I believe such a tool would greatly enhance the creative process by facilitating better color combinations and harmonies.
Problem: Illustrators and designers often face challenges in selecting and maintaining color harmonies within Adobe Illustrator. While the existing color tools are robust, they could benefit from integrated features specifically tailored for creating and managing color harmonies.
Proposed Solution: Introduce a dedicated Color Harmony Tool that offers:
