In After Effects and Premiere when you drag a value (like transparency, stroke width, etc.), or in Photoshop its name, you are able to change like if you were dragging a virtual slider.

But in Illustrator you still have to click on the arrow next to the number in order to show the slider which you can than drag.

Since they have a similar UI your brain always wants to do the same.

It is a small thing but it would be just great to unify them and to update Illustrator to those other apps with a bit more modern UI.

Thank you for listening!

Scrubby Sliders in Photoshop were an amazing QOL improvement. Would be great if added to Illustrator resulting in UI that matched the rest of the suite.

I would pay to have these added - oh wait, I am already paying.

Hi, I am also used of scrubby sliders in Ps, Ae, Pr, and the rest of the ecosystem.
It is capital to know one is learning one unified way to interact with the entire suite.

Illustrator definitely needs this! I'm not sure how or why the dev team missed this when building it, as the rest of the Adobe suite does this. As somebody else in the thread mentioned, consistency!

As for the last Eyedropper question, there is a way to do it.
Press Enter when the tool is active (or double-click the tool button) to open the tool’s options. Then disable those attributes you do not want to pick and apply.
Do not forget to set them back once you are finished (easy to forget!)

Seb, one request per entry, please. UserVoice does not allow splitting :)

'Sampling colors outside of Illustrator (eyedropper)'

Could Adobe please alter the UI so that all and any number boxes are made so that we can lower or raise the number via dragging on it with the mouse? For example, I think all of the numbers in the UI in After Effects work in this way. Perhaps holding shift whilst doing this would snap them to useful increments, too.

Eyedropper improvements: This seems like an obvious thing to have in the UI (I think Photoshop behaves in this way), but when we double click on a colour/stroke pot to bring the Color Picker box, we don't seem to be able to use a colour picker outside of this box to grab colours from inside the UI/document or from elsewhere on our screen from different apps. Could you please make this work how it does in Photoshop?

Also, it is quite handy when using the Eyedropper that it'll copy the stroke/fill style of whatever you want to sample, but is there a way where if we've got the fill set to a correct colour, but then we want to only change the stroke colour, that the eyedropper doesn't change both colour pots?

Change leading and kerning with mouse cursor for artistic and paragraph text, maybe by additional control points for text frames. This feature was quite conveniently implemented in Macromedia Freehand over 20 years ago.

I need this too bad

Scrubbies on the type menus for point size leading etc

Opacity slider... its been like this thing for over 10 years... Photoshop Team figured it out... About time for illustrator to get it.

why does it take two clicks to adjust this?

Please make it possible to change font size using the same way you can do in Photoshop. "Hold-and-drag" mouse over the TT-button to left or right to increase/decrease font size.

I am so used to scrubby sliders in Ps, just click on the name of the value and slide to adjust the value. In Illustrator it is still necessary to drop down a slider to adjust the value. This would speed things up and be consistent with your other applications.

I like how direct the method of adjustment is in Photoshop, it is very convenient and controllable. Most importantly it would allow reflexes to carryover from one app to the other. IMO this is an ethos that should pervade your apps - to make similar functions behave the same where possible.

The scale scrubbers on the control panel that allowed us to click and drag to adjust character size, tracking, line spacing, etc. were invaluable. Please bring them back! It takes us about eight times as long to lay out text now.

Yes, please add sliding value to all CC software. And please start using only ONE UI-library for ALL.
Adobe products only feel like a suite or cloud packed when you paid the bill, not when you use them at the same time. It's a big shame.

Yes!! Anywhere there is a percentage or numeric slider it should work like Photoshop where a click-n-slide on the item title (i.e., "Opacity") adjusts the number WITHOUT clicking to open annoying popup just to then click again to adjust a slider!!!!

As from title description.
CONSICTENCY please dear Ilustrator Team, consistency.
We have CC 2019 and i still have to klick or type values into these awkward value boxes everywhere. Aaaaaaaah!!

Yes, very handy in Photoshop would be a time saver in Illustrator too. I never could figure out why Adobe doesn't try to keep UI features consistently upgraded across their apps.
