pencil tool - enable keep selection shortcut
A shortcut to enable or disable "keep selection" for the pencil tool. Now it is quite laborious to open each time the tool option window and check "keep selection".

Stretching objects
A stretch function allows to e.g. move a door in a wall. The door is moved, one wall is enlarged and the other wall is shortened. This is done by drawing a box through the walls and around the door, and then by moving the selection. Object that are completely within the selection are moved. Object that cross the selection box are stretched.

Make "Transform" in top toolbar show measurments without a click
I wish Illustrator would show the dimensions of a selected object in the toolbar, like InDesign. Currently, I need to click on "toolbar" to make changes. It would be great if this didn't require an extra click. InDesign's toolbar is far more accessible.

Type on a Path Options
Type on a Path needs significant improvements.
• The Preview button should be sticky and the default position should be on.
• There need to be more alignment options including Cap Height and x Height.
• The options should be a panel not a dialogue.
• The options should be included in a style, perhaps by adding InDesign like object styles.
• The margins added when a path is converted to a type path should always start out at the ends of the path, not some arbitrary points along the path.4 votes -
Scaling Arrowheads Maintains Original Stroke Width
Is it possible to add an option in the Stroke panel which allows scaling of the arrowheads and start and end shapes (like Circle, Square, SimpleWide, Simple, ettc.) without scaling their stroke width?
Now the stroke width of the arrow or shape is increased or decreased when scaling. Please see attached images. Often times I would like to use a bigger arrowhead or shape but I have to create hem manually as scaling up results the arrowhead becoming a wider stroke than the stroke itself.
For instance - a 2 point stroke with a SimpleWide arrowhead results in the arrowhead…

Auto back up does not work and it should. Everything is set correctly and I use Jing - however it's set as once an hour for a back up
File back up for crashes needs to work as per the settings. If it set to back up every 2 mins - then where are the files? They don't seem to exist - not like In Design where my last file is brought back.

Add a floating info box for Color Picker and Guides
When dragging a guide from the ruler, a floating info box with the coordinates would be very helpful.
Same for the color picker - a floating color value box, in addition the Info panel that can be hidden when the tool is active.

Added a slug area in document setup
In InDesign's document setup, there are Slug settings in addition to Bleed.
https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/how-to/set-print-bleed.htmlThere is no a slug area in Illustrator. As a result, users are stacking another large artboard underneath the artboard as an alternative to a slug area. This situation should be remedied by adding Slug settings.
InDesignのドキュメント設定には、裁ち落としに加えて印刷可能領域の設定があります。
Illustratorには印刷可能領域の設定がありません。そのためユーザーはかわりに別の大きなサイズのアートボードを下に重ねています。この現状は印刷可能領域の設定を追加することで改善されなければいけません。92 votes -
Option + Delete to erase whole words
To speed up deleting words, I wish Illustrator has an option to delete whole words using the both delete keys (num keyboard).

Allow layers with "print" unchecked to also not render in "output for screens".
Basically, just like the title says. When the "Print" box in a layer's properties is unchecked, that layer will not be printed (or, when exporting, it won't be used in the export).
I'd like this behavior to be continued in export for screens. That way, you can set up layers for overlays and guides but not have to manually hide them before export.
F/E, here's an overlay on a FB mobile sized coverpage; I'd like the blue box etc (on their own non-print layer called "overlays") to be gone on export so that when I export, all that the resulting…

Artboard Textures
Textured artboard choice, ie canvas, wood, concrete, liquid etc.
When new drawings happen all the work reacts according to the artboard type, ie lineworks degrade if on a canvas texture. I know this can be simulated afterwards but the linework or colour fills don’t degrade accurately, it’s more a superimposition.
I also realise this would take an awful lot of computing power!

Access to sub-layers has disappeared.
Not sure if this is happening to everyone, but the arrows to access my sublayers have gone missing... and the ability to GET to my sublayers went with.
I have updated, uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted... and it persists.
Thoughts?

Customizing any toolbar by right click on any empty space on it
customizing any toolbar by right-clicking in an empty space as well as the three dots underneath any toolbar.
Illustrator becomes popular for developers around the world and every day there is a new plugin to enhance working in Illustrator. but in some small resolution PC / Laptops when some plugins add new tools the toolbar becomes very tall and could not reach the (customize this toolbar) the three dots that arrange and customizing my tools.

Asset Export: Name assets after the layer they're on
When adding objects to Asset Export, there should be an option to name the assets after the layer they're on. This would be particularly helpful when there are a large number of assets.

The order of the Undo history after executing the script is incorrect.
I checked with macOS X Mojave, Illustrator24.3, and Yosemite, Illustrator CS6.
Below is a sculpt to create a new document, create a rectangle, select and copy, paste and cut. Try it first.
var doc = app.documents.add ();
var rect = doc.pathItems.rectangle (0, 0, 50, 50);
app.copy ();
app.paste ();
app.cut ();After execution, the user can undo it.
The final process is "cut", but what appears in the menu is "undo paste".
Let's cancel it again. The second thing that appears is "undo cut".
Because of this, when you try to return to the pre-execution state, Illustrator almost always thinks…3 votes -
Snap to middles of grid unit
It would be useful to have the option when grid snapping is enabled, a hint or indicator that allows the user to snap the anchor handles to the middle point of the defined grid unit. A simple override to avoid having to enable/disable the snapping function.

SVG Import image X and Y positions are multiplied by 2
If you open this SVG in Chrome, FF, Inkscape, etc, the rectangle and the 120.png image should be stacked on top of each other. However, in Illustrator CC (As of 09-23-2020) the image appears at 240x240 for the X/Y position instead of the defined 120x120. Appears to be this way only with the image tag. If you were to do a transformation matrix, it fixes the problem but still it should be imported properly into Illustrator.

Export SVG without transforms for use with web / HTML / CSS / JS
When will illustrator support options for exporting SVG without transforms?
We have to manually calculate then set the x,y,width, height attributes on an svg element from a transform: matrix or other transforms.
Attached image: I can't pull this into an html document and animate it because the inline transforms override the css transform I use to position or animate.
