Combining Ai files into one as we can do with PDF
Some time we need to combine separate files into one for sending to customer or for printing. Idea is to combine separate .ai files into one as we can do with PDF.

Hue cube / Live Color Picker
Would it be possible to import the Hue cube from Photoshop when choosing color? MagicPicker plugin won't work when selecting gradient colors (it will just replace the gradient completely) and Color Picker doesn't allow for real-time changes, you need to select the color and press OK to see the change. Color tab works perfectly, but the available color palette is impractical to use. I have no clue why you are not using the same setup as in Photoshop, where the Color tab looks exactly like the Color Picker. People have been complaining about this for 4 years now.

Character and Paragraph Styles
In indesign Character and Paragraph Styles are very easy to use, and they can be grouped. Is it possible to have similar styles in illustrator?

SVG export: Universally-unique class names for internal CSS or option for prefix token.
AI's auto-generated class names are only file-unique. Collisions occur if different exported svgs are inlined in the same container (html) document. This prevents a primary way of using SVGs on the web.
Suggest an option (or default behavior) where class names are universally unique, or where a file-name or user chosen token is prepended to classnames.

Merge swatches with right-click
In InDesign you can right-click in the swatches panel and select 'Merge Swatches' (among many other things).
In Illustrator there is no right-click menu at all, you have to click the fly-out.
Adding the right-click menu (or even the ability add a keyboard shortcut to things in the fly-out) would be helpful as we get a lot of files with duplicate colors or need to convert odd mixes/incorrect names to true Pantones so our rips will recognize them. We do a lot of merging.
Thank you!

Add middle click to close document
Hello!
It would be convenient if we could middle click on the open document tab (not just the x), to close the document, similarly to like the tabs behave in the any web browser.
It's sometimes inconvenient to aim for the x, and they change location as I close a bunch of documents.

Auto extension saving
Since 90% of the time, you need to rename or edit a title. It would be a time saver if you could name as well select the correct format directly from the "save as" selection name field. ex: You type image1.png, Then the "format" would automatically change itself to the correct "PNG" format (so you don't need to do that as well). Of course, this would be on all.
Thank you

Undo Paragraph/Character styles.
In Adobe InDesign, Paragraph or Character styles can be undone by pressing Ctrl+Z. But this is not possible in Adobe Illustrator, which causes some problems. It'd be great if this feature can be added to Illustrator.

Infinite Canvas
I find myself using more and more Figma to brainstorm and create my designs as I have a single document containing all of my visual explorations.
For print assets I go back to Illustrator and create the final file, but I really wish I could have done it all in illustrator. So just removing the canvas limit.

Locking and unlocking objects on a current artboard only
Discussed in our team is the annoying way Illustrator unlocks EVERYTHING on the pasteboard - why can unlocking be isolated to the artboard you are working on? Like indesign. I use locked objects a lot when I am creating concepts and use layers when creating final artwork. Using layers slows down the way you work.

You can improve by making it possible to move many files at once form CCLibrary to CCFiles folder. (Now 1 by 1).
Please make it possible to move all files at once from the Creative Cloud Libraries to the Creative Cloud Files folder. I have made lots of great patterns today with Adobe Capture, when you save them you'll find them in your Library but then I wanted to copy them so I also can work with the files offline (from the CCF folder I can export them to my external HDD) with PS and/or Ai. Now I have found out you must copy them one by one...Only made 45 patterns today...and over time I might create thousands....but not if I have…

Adobe Illustrator User Interface Auto Rotation
Wacom Computers, MS Surface, and I'm super several others can use windows auto rotation feature. Photoshop works fine with it, but Adobe Illustrator (even in touch workspace) just doesn't want to rotate the UI to portrait mode for some reason.
It wouldn't be that horrible, or there was at least a manual button to rotate the user interface... But even that doesn't exist.
Please, please, please add UI auto rotation to Adobe Illustrator.1 vote -

Adobe Illustrator asks you to Save when no changes were made?
Why does Illustrator, for the past many years, ask you to Save when no changes were made? Makes me think I accidentally did something or forgot that I did something. If nothing was changed, Don't ask to Save....please.

Make a selection of objects from Global Edit
When using Global Edit to edit multiple instances of a grouped object (or any other object), it would be very useful to have an option to keep those objects selected when you leave Global Edit (in order to group them all together for instance).
