1. Multi-letter Shortcut Combinations

   I would like to see an option to create multi-letter shortcut combinations for every tool, menu item, action in Illustration.

   E.g. rather than just CMD/****/OPT+ a letter (e.g. CMD+S, OPT+CMD+A, etc.) have the option to hit three letters in succession e.g. CMD+ELL (ellipse), CMD+KER (kerning), CMD+RML (Paste Remembers Layers on/off).

   This would increase the number of possible shortcuts by a factor of ~2200x

2. Please allow Compound Shapes in patterns

   Patterns are super restrictive. Compound paths are obviously allowed, but compound shapes, being just a tiny bit more complex (from a user’s POV) aren’t.
   I had a specific task where I had to invert some patters from being black or transparent to transparent on black. Using subtract compound shapes was the easiest method that would allow the original intact. Now I have to double them. A minor workaround... scratch that, it’s not. Duplicating pattern swatches is a nightmare.

4. Please let us remove the swatches in the Gradient panel

   If you have the options on in the Gradient panel there are space sucking gradient swatches - please let us remove these swatches in the panel they take up too much room - previous builds didn't have these ridiculous swatches.

5. Warn about loosing appearance when ungrouping

   Could you please add a feature for groups?
   When a group is selected and you choose to ungroup, please add a dialog that "applied effects may be lost" or something similar.

6. Allow Users to Change the Default Save Location Behavior

   In other production software, there is a preferences setting that allows users to change whether the program will open the file explorer relative to the current file's save location or to remember where it was last opened to.
   This feature is sorely missing from Illustrator and causes me loads of headaches when exporting assets for multiple clients in rapid succession.
   To make things worse, if you use the Asset Export window (Export for Screens), the "Export to:" filepath will prepopulate to the last location that that particular file saved to. If you click the folder icon to the right of it, you would expect the file explorer to open in that directory. But it does not. Instead, it opens in the last place Illustrator exported assets to, regardless of the active file.
   This is counterintuitive, and I often have to backtrack to find assets that I for sure thought I exported, but turns out they were sent to a seemingly random folder.
   Please let us choose whether or not Illustrator will open the file browser relative to the active file's location or whether Illustrator will remember where it last saved a file regardless of active file.

7. Please update the Glyph Panel with a search feature for icon tags in icon fonts.

   Currently, if I create a text block to add an icon-font, the default placeholder text prevents the icon font from being displayed in the Glyphs pallet. I have to delete the placeholder text just to see the Glyphs.

   But more importantly, I spend a great deal of time digging through these icon fonts to find the icon I need.

   What would be ideal is if you would enhance the Glyphs pallet to include a simple text field that would allow me to search within an icon font (or really any font) for a specific character tag.

   The enclosed image shows how the Glyph panel could look. You would add a search field to the top of the panel where I could type in an icon search term. In this case "arrow". All of the icons in the font with the tag "arrow" would be highlighted in yellow.

   If I select an icon, it turns blue and the associated tags are displayed at the bottom. In this case, I searched for arrow, but wanted the play button. So I could click the Tag button and add the "arrow" tag to that icon for future reference. If I wanted to delete a tag from a font, the popup tag menu would allow me to delete the tag (as well as the close button on the tag itself).

   Also, notice that this would allow me to view as a standard glyph table as well as a taglist table. The icons would run vertically in a column with their associated tags to the right of them.

   By maintaining the font-icon-tag list in a simple json file or xml or whatever, you could allow new icon font makers to tag their own fonts for convenience. You would only have to tag the fonts in the Adobe Font Library, which I would volunteer to do if it would help make this possible.

   If someone added an icon font that had no tags, they would be able to add their own tags.

8. Opt/Alt-clicking Recent Colors should apply these to a selected gradient stop

   Opt/Alt just doesn’t work when Recent Colors are clicked to assign one to a selected gradient stop, it works only for the actual swatches.

   Also, there is a report clicking ordinary swatches with Opt/Alt doesn’t always do this as well: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51498197

9. Show the number of all and selected layers in the document

   Please add an indicator showing both the total number of layers in the document and the number of layers currently selected for potential operations, in the bottom-left corner of the Layers panel.
   Attached you will find a screenshot illustrating a possible implementation of this feature.

   I am confident that you will consider this proposal carefully and evaluate the integration of this functionality into Adobe Illustrator, helping make the user experience even more efficient and intuitive.

10. Allow to distort a text with Free Distort tool

    In many other software packages you are able to use perspective distortion on text. This should be a very basic feature of Illustrator. This way you can still change the font / text while it is in perspective.

12. Error con el cambio de tipografía.

    Resulta que cuando creo un cuadro de texto (cualquier opción) voy a la barra lateral derecha y cambio la tipografía no la toma, es decir vuelve y cambia a la que esta configurada por defecto, pasa con archivos nuevos y con archivos antiguos, cambie en configuración el tipo de letra, borre la memoria cache, y algunas otras cosas y siguió igual. lo único que me funciono fue poner una nueva barra de herramientas en la parte superior y desde ahí si me deja modificar y cambiar a cualquier tipografía sin ningún inconveniente. El tema es que visual mente y por espacio de trabajo no se me acomoda esa barra arriba, Ayuda con esa corrección porfavor, mi versión actual es V 30.2.1

13. Temporary multi-object alignment without grouping

    In Figma, holding Shift temporarily allows selected objects to be treated as a single unit when performing alignment actions (e.g., aligning to the artboard). This avoids the hassle of grouping and then ungrouping the objects. Can we have the same functionality in Illustrator as well?

14. Populate in Illustrator, like you do in Adobe XD

    I can tell that many designers would love to have that function. Creating an item info like Image, Name, Info about the item, and then multiplying it on a page, like a flyer, or a poster - and populating the image and text, just by dropping a text file and a set of image you have in a folder to populate the design. Here is a visual example.

16. Support background blur in SVGs exported from Figma

    <svg width="367" height="255" viewBox="0 0 367 255" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <rect x="150.75" y="18.5726" width="216" height="216.897" fill="#7580FF"/>
    <foreignObject x="-51.0876" y="-51.0876" width="356.218" height="356.218"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="backdrop-filter:blur(25.54px);clip-path:url(#bgblur_0_1_16_clip_path);height:100%;width:100%"></div></foreignObject><circle data-figma-bg-blur-radius="51.0876" cx="127.021" cy="127.021" r="127.021" fill="#FF7575" fill-opacity="0.7"/>
    <defs>
    <clipPath id="bgblur_0_1_16_clip_path" transform="translate(51.0876 51.0876)"><circle cx="127.021" cy="127.021" r="127.021"/>
    </clipPath></defs>
    </svg>
    

    (I'm sympathetic that general <foreignObject> support is nigh impossible 🙂 Figma uses this only for background blurs and angular gradients)

18. QuickLook Preview Support for EPS Files on macOS via Adobe own framework

    As of macOS 15 (Sequoia), Apple has officially removed all system-level support for rendering Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files in QuickLook. This change began in macOS 12 (Monterey), when Apple deprecated the internal PostScript conversion frameworks (notably PSNormalizer.framework), and culminated in macOS 14 (Sonoma) and 15 (Sequoia), where these frameworks were entirely removed.

    Historically, Finder’s QuickLook preview for .eps files relied on these system frameworks to convert PostScript content into a previewable image. Many third-party applications (including Illustrator) used the same system calls to provide file previews. Even QuickLook plugins like Illustrator.qlgenerator or others that claimed .eps support were not rendering the content themselves—they merely invoked Apple’s system renderers under the hood.

    Now, all such plugins are broken:
    • .qlgenerator-style plugins are no longer supported or loaded at all in macOS Sequoia.
    • System EPS rendering components (pstopdf, cgps, PSNormalizer.framework) are removed.
    • Even if an EPS file contains an embedded preview (e.g. a TIFF or low-res PDF), macOS does not expose this to QuickLook.
    • Applications like Illustrator or Affinity can still open EPS files, but no longer expose any preview capability in Finder.

    Some unofficial third-party utilities have begun to implement their own QuickLook Preview Extensions (using the modern App Extension architecture), embedding their own PostScript interpreters (such as Ghostscript). While this restores basic EPS preview functionality, these solutions may rely on reverse-engineered methods or contain licensing gray areas due to the proprietary nature of PostScript.

    This leaves professionals—designers, publishers, illustrators—without a reliable, secure, and officially supported method to preview legacy assets in EPS format, which are still common in stock vector libraries, archival graphics, and prepress workflows.

    ⸻

    We propose the following feature request:
    Please consider developing an official Apple QuickLook Preview Extension for .eps files, bundled either with Adobe Illustrator or the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app.

    Such an extension would:
    • Support QuickLook previews in Finder and column view (via QuickLookPreviewingExtension)
    • Use Adobe’s own EPS rendering engine internally
    • Require no user interaction or app launch — just press spacebar on an .eps file
    • Work on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
    • Respect the EPS file’s embedded previews when available
    • Safely handle untrusted EPS content in a sandboxed, non-executable rendering context

    This would solve a real and growing pain point in modern macOS workflows. Currently, users are forced to open files manually in Illustrator or rely on potentially unsafe tools—hardly an ideal user experience in professional environments.

    We believe Adobe, as the originator of the EPS format and the leader in professional design software, is best positioned to provide a secure, performant, and standards-compliant solution.

19. Allow selecting layers’ colors directly in the Layers panel

20. Make fields respect units entered

    When creating a new document, it is annoying having to select the units from a drop down.
    Why not just respect the units the user enters: 1920px, 210mm, 10cm, 5"

    Typing this in the input field:
    1920px
    when the dropdown is set to centimeters,
    results in 67.7333 cm

    It's contra intuitive, even more since the result has the unit typed in the input field.

    My request:
    Please make this smart: when typing 1920px, the unit should change to pixels,, when typing 10cm, the unit should change to cm.
