artboard size fit
It would be great if Illustrator created a new artboard to fit copy and paste elements - as done when you copy to clipboard and paste in photoshop. It would be helpful when need ing to create multiple illustrator files ( say logo variations, or icons etc) instead of having to manually resize the artboard/page size

As for the 'shrink the current artboard to the size of the selected art' — it can be done now, with Object > Artboards > Fit to Selected Art.
And there is also Fit to Artwork Bounds, in case you want it to fit to everything at once without selecting it first.
So I don't think it’s that large of a workaround, to call for this with a hotkey (I use the first one quite often)... -

Agree. I have a similar request for there to be an "auto size" artboard to match either the boundaries of the selected objects or mach the boundaries of all objects.
