Smart Guides when hovering over object and holding Cmd / Ctrl
In Photoshop, when you hover over an object and hold Cmd / Ctrl, there is a distance display. Please add this in Illustrator.

You can do this on an individual basis with the measure tool (bundled under the eye-dropper tool) - unless you're asking for something different?

The ability to measure the distance (redlining) between objects is the only missing feature that makes me hesitant to design in Illustrator because the current way I do it adds additional unnecessary steps to make sure the spacing is perfect.

Dimension tool just like Adobe XD, when we press the option button from MAC, space show between two object.

I think it would be cool if illustrator would provide a way to measure the distance between objects (shapes, lines, type, etc.).
Thanks.

Photoshop has a useful feauture — it shows the distance between currently held object and adjacent one, when you hold Control.
(I couldn’t capture these annotations on video, sadly).AI just doesn't.
It can detect similar gaps between objects, show offset from current position, but not distances to neighbors.And it even doesn't show offsets when you use snap to grid (with Smart guides on).
Please, make snaps great again.
