Tool nesting groups
I'm on a laptop. With the nested tools off to my right you can organize them to be in little clusters when you use them. Its great. When you have the three window options for color / gradient / swatches it would be nice to be able to click and drag a swatch onto the tab of one of the nested sets for a second and have it switch to the underlying window. For example, you drag a swatch square onto the gradient tab and then you could drop the swatch color right into the gradient slider. Now, you have…

Making all functions recordable
Corel has had this feature for ever. Need to increase productivity by recording actions and applying quick keys to it. But we need to record extensions, and scripts that we run.

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.

A way to remove objects located outside of one or more artboards
While working in a file with many artboards and while exporting each artboard to a separate EPS, AI carries over all graphics from the original file even if the graphics from each EPS file is resumed to it's artboard.

Feedback on Invite to edit Feature (in Beta now)
In our next feature update as part of cloud documents in Illustrator, we bring to you the “Invite to Edit” feature that is intended to help you share and collaborate with others.
What is it?
Collaborate with others with the Invite to Edit feature. Share your cloud document with other collaborators so that they can also edit your document. Find documents that others have shared with you in a new section called “Shared with you” which you can find on the Home Screen. You can also easily take a non-cloud document and convert it into a cloud document in order…2 votes -

Can we have a PNG export tool similar to the one in desktop AI? I use it a lot for proofing, web stores etc... color depth, pixel dimensions and transparency?
Like the old “save for web” tool.

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.

RAL Swatch Library
RAL Swatch library. We don’t need this for print or screen, but it is necessary to mark a plastic or metal with RAL colour when documentation is sent to manufacturing. Do something about it.

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

Maintain Word style
When I paste an italicized Word font into the Illustrator, it becomes plain text.
I'd like to see Adobe improve this feature so that you can "copy and paste" while maintaining Word's italics and other styles.

Stop signing me out
Can Adobe stop signing me out of illustrator. This gets really frustrating, my account is linked up to my personal computer, a 2016 iMac, I don't switch between other computers. This gets in the way of my work flow and slows my computer down. I simply ask that Adobe stops this "Feature" and leave my information alone.

Font Style Sheets
The integration of all products in the Adobe suite has helped my workflow tremendously with one exception. If I am working on a project requiring multiple outputs from Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, Animate, and Premiere, I have to create design templates for each (when possible) to get each program to use the fonts required for the project.
It would be nice if there were a tool allowing me to create a master style sheet for all outputs that would let me select the fonts used in ALL of my output files. Not only would this make my workflow more efficient, it…0 votes -
Add a default option that lets you choose whether or not edges are shown.
I print labels and we require proof approval from customers. This means the files I end up using ultimately get opened by at least 3 people. Any number of these people can save the files so that edges are hidden, however, on my end, I always want edges shown so I can better see where they are in relation to the white cut box (FXCUT) that's against the white background. I also maintain our proof templates, which, similarly, ends up being opened by multiple people.
The idea I propose is that there be a global default setting for each iteration…

Right align Export destination folder path text on Export for Screens window
My suggestion is to have the 'folder path' text be right aligned in the text box, to have the export destination be more accessible, instead of the root folders.
Currently, I have to click into the folder path text box, then click + drag to see where my file will export to. This is cumbersome and unnecessary.

Add DXF/DWG Export To Increased Canvas Size In Illustrator 24.2 (and later)
Would it be possible to add DXF/DWG as an export option for the new expanded max canvas size (Illustrator, 24.2 and forward). The increased canvas size is wonderful, however as someone who will move to-scale sketches from Illustrator into a 3D modeling program, not having DXF/DWG exports at the new max size makes the use of the new canvas size somewhat limited.
