Copy and paste formatting to text
Please add a very important abbreviation
It is paste formatting
(And copy the same text)
I suggest its shortcut is ctrl + shift + V
and
ctrl + shift + C copy shortcut
As in MS Word
It's an important shortcut and makes it much easier at work. Please let me know when it's activated4 votes -
Set Default Font and Font Size for all new documents
Changing the default character style in Illustrator should be permanent when creating new documents. Font size 12 is rarely used for any project I've designed, and Myriad Pro is used even less so, from my experience. Having to change this every time is user friction that is unnecessary, when we could define our own font and font size that is more applicable to one's intended use of Illustrator. It's a minor inconvenience that adds up to an annoyance over time, and I hope that in the future we have the ability to skip this step.

If you have some ideas on how it should work — it’s time to discuss it.
Remember, text has more parameters than just font family and size. Document Profiles allow to set any of these using text styles, but editing the profiles them is a long journey. Doubling all parameters would be cumbersome.
How should it differ compared to InDesign’s approach? What other default parameters other than font would you need to alter and how should the solution would apply to those? Please help to make properly.

Reflect and Unite in one step, without extra points
Reflect a shape and Unite it to the original shape without having extraneous points - in one step. Having to close the shape, then carefully align it and then unite it only to see you have extra points in the middle where the shapes overlapped is a hassle. (use - making symmetrical, complex shapes like frames or road signs or something similar) Thank you!

Unembedding Multiple Images keep only one of them selected on canvas
Since 27.8 we can unembed several images at once, if we check 'Unembed all selected images to this folder' option in Unembed dialog (requested here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/20608015).
But if I do this, I get only ONE of them selected after the unembedding process is finished. I am seeing the last one gets selected briefly and then the first one, and stays like this. Why not all previously selected?

GUIDELINES
Full transform options for GUIDELINES. I want infinite DIAGONALS!
Please and thank you! xoxoTL;DR
We all know math is the basis of all good design work. (Critical for branding) I can't count the number of times I've messed up manual diagonal spacing. It's a sticking point for me, especially when working on deadline.Being able to set up a template of guidelines (in the same way that "workspaces" functions) could be beneficial for different types of jobs.
Other things that would be nice:
-Golden Ratio guideline (also Branding essential)
-Colour of guidelines matching layer colour (much more helpful than…2 votes -
Make calligraphic brush support dashes
"Dashed Line" does not work. At all. Even default brush does not respond. V28.3 on both OSX and Windows.

Graphic Styles direct hotkeys
Some of us use graphics styles A LOT. And a way to quickly apply them now requires aiming and clicking. In modern now, a precise targeted click is the most inconvenient, attention-expensive, and rather ineffective gesture.
Pro users use hotkeys.
Since InDesign’s Quick Apply is not a thing yet (that’s another story), we’d like to be able to assign direct hotkeys to chosen styles.There are several ways to approach this: by name, or by position in the list... but not as an action wrapper — we have so little of F-keys.

Automated clipping with a hotkey based on the selection
Can you make clipping easier and automatic depending on what you have selected perhaps with a key command?

Tool to identify the size of each asset that is added to a document
sometimes I save a project file and it is HUGE... because some asset I added is also HUGE, but I didn't realize it...
I would like to see a feature where I could open a panel (maybe integrated into a LINKS panel?) and it shows each asset added and the size...that way I can make the decision to manually edit that asset to a smaller size so that my files aren't so huge

Add a triangle to the shapes tool apart from the star.
I'd LOVE if there was a triangle tool other than using the star tool to make it easier and quicker. I make a lot of signs with arrows and it'd be SO nice. THX!

复合路径建立的剪切蒙版
复合路径建立的剪切蒙版，如何把蒙版分割的对象分离成单独的对象。如图中，我用矩形复合路径通过剪切蒙版把图片分割，但是现在是一个整体，我想让蒙版中分割的每个对象成为一个单独的对象，请问有什么好办法吗？比如类似于“扩展”的功能。
当然，每个矩形可以单独建立剪切蒙版，但是会非常麻烦。1 vote -
Seed generator for random options
Random in Illustrator is NOT random.
Depending on the values I will always get the same result. Add an seed generator. Best would be to add an option go type in the seed manually, that way I can choose if a want the same randomness or a random randomness.1 vote -
Modern 3D effects need more control over mapping
Map art lacks of control. I can't find a right way to place my art along the shape I've created. Previous versions let us place graphics, symbols, along the created shape and play around to find the desired way to make the art. Please add more graphic placement controls for symbols or graphics in 3D shapes.

Allow outline / edges colour changes in Symbol edit mode
Allow the user to change the outline colour in Symbol Editing Mode. 'Options for Symbol Editing Mode' is always greyed out. It's possible to change the outline colour but it always reverts to the randomly-selected default colour.
See summary of issue here:

Introduce a way to control the cross-section for 3D Inflate profile
For "Inflate", it would be cool to have a curves/profile editor to modify the cross-section more than the Volume slider currently allows. Currently it seems that turning down the volume essentially pancakes the object - and sometimes that's a good look! But it would be nice to have the option to retain an overall "bubble" feel like the object has at 100% Volume.
