The Ability to paste an object precisely where we want it to be in the layers panel
This feature, in particular, will be very time-saving cos I often find myself dragging the pasted object a good distance in the layers panel so that it is where I exactly want it to be.
Currently pasting works such that when we try to paste an object, it gets pasted at the very top of the highlighted/targetted layer. We know that Illustrator already differentiates between "targetting" and "selecting" an object or layer, so that's great. But I'd like to make use of that so as to be more productive and save a lot of time for myself.
I've attached an…

Commemoratively change 'Edit in Isolation Mode' to read 'Edit in SELF-isolation Mode'
For a little (temporary) comic relief during the pandemic and also as a small commemoration to the difficulty and pressure many of us are feeling from living and working in lockdown.
Perhaps also a nice way to remind each other that, albeit socially isolated, we're also connected through this crisis too.
Also, does anyone else emember when illustrator included Easter Eggs like; show number of clicks?

Recolor Artwork Tool - Separate Colors by Groups
I'd love to be able to pull up the recolor artwork tool and separate all of the colors by grouped objects.
I want to pull the color scheme from one grouped set of shapes into another, but hate having to sort out which ones belong to each, especially when they are similar shades. (example: pulling the colors from a pineapple into an orange, and be able to sort by the colors in each fruit's grouped paths)

サブレイヤー
お世話になります。
いつも仕事で使わせていただいております。先日、複雑なデータをグループ化した際、あったものが消えてなくなるという不具合が発生し、危うくミスになるところでした。
調べたところ、サブレイヤーが使われており、グループ化することによりオブジェクトが最背面へ移動し、なくなってしまったということが分かりました。現在は、どうしてもグループ化しなくてはならないときは「レイヤーを統合」してグループ化するなどして対策していますが、ネット上でも不具合として話題になっているようなので、グループ化する、マスクをかける、などによりあったものがなくなってしまうようなとき（重なり順が変わる時）にはアラートでお知らせいただければこのような事故が減るしありがたいな、と思いました。
どうぞよろしくお願いします。2 votes -
A standalone preset migration tool to allow for quicker setting migration and recovery in the event of a re-installation.
Settings are regularly changed/updated and need to be rolled out to all users in a short amount of time in our environment. As such, a tool that will quickly copy/paste from one location to the app preset folders would be ideal. Swatches is a key example of this.
The build in tool that comes with Illustrator fails more often than not and thus is something we do not use. Ideally, we'd like to see something a user can double click/execute on their own to update these files.

Add Canadian English to languages
Canadian English is missing from the language list. It has grammar and spelling rules of its own, and it is strange that despite its inclusion in InDesign it is missing in Illustrator.

NO consistency between products
In Illustrator zoom is with "cmd+scroll" while in most other products/programs (e.g. Acrobat reader) the combination is "ctrl+scroll". This would be nice if it would be consistent in all products!

Always show text panel option by default (always on)
The fact that we now have to click a button to show optional items for the text panel in Illustrator hinders my workflow. It would be nice if we could make the options visible be default (always have them shown). For anyone creating logos or working with type, this is an absolute must!

More Text Frame & Type options like: Inset Spacing, Auto Fit, Columns and Bullet & Num Lists
I highly appraise adding the much needed Vertical Text Alignment feature from indesign to Illustrator. While they are at it I would like to request more Text Frame & Type features to be migrated over from Indesign. Like Inset Spacing, Auto Fit, Columns and Bullet & Numbered Lists .
Why? Due to Illustrator having more flexible and abundant creativity oriented vector design features I often pick Illustrator over Indesign to create single page designs like flyers or posters. Having more control over type would speed up the design workflow significantly. Lack of Type control is the only thing that causes…

Problem with Adobe Illustrator pressure on a Surface pro 7
I recently purchased a Surface Pro 7. I am a graphic designer and an artist and I've always worked on Illustrator but after installing it to my Surface Pro the experience is ruined for me.
I cannot get a sharp line even if my life depended on it.
Basically the lines inside the box are the lines I'm getting, the single line outside of the box is what I should be getting but I'm not. It's like the pressure works but not on the low end as I can't make a line sharp, it always ends up like this.

Allow to pick tool from Customize Toolbar for temp use
Customizing the tool bar has been a great addition. But there are some occasions where I need a tool (ex: spiral or grid). This is rarely used, maybe once a month or less, but when I do need it, I don't want to have to add it to my tool bar. Can we just choose the ellipses for customize tool bar, and when we click on a tool, it is activated. I don't need to see it added to the toolstrip, I just need it for that moment.
Think of the three dots as a user experience hierarchy versus a…

Bring back "hide edges" for type within a paragraph
I used to be able to select a line of type, hide edges, and then view how various fonts looked (without seeing the type bar that show's it's selected). Not being able to do this has greatly slowed down my process. Please bring back "Hide Edges" for selected type within a paragraph.

I want the behavior to be the same
For Japanese version of Illustrator, I want Indesign to have the same selection range when adjusting the line spacing.
I sometimes get confused because each behaves differently in the same selection.

Cluster / group small increment edits like nudging as one "move" in History to undo
In Photoshop, when a user nudges an object by holding down an arrow key for an interval of time, PS clusters that series of nudges as one "move". Then the user can undo all of the nudges at once with one "Undo move" command in the History panel. Since Illy doesn't have a History panel (and why is there no History panel? Don't like it, don't use it.), it's impossible to undo all of the nudges with one "Undo". Please make Illy treat nudges like PS does.
