Copy the 'Indent to here' command from InDesign
'As it says on the tin'
So many times you start out creating a graphic and you're in two minds whether to use Illustrator for it's superior vector tools, or InDesign for its superior type control.
When I need to quickly add a couple of bullets it would be so much easier if I could fake the tab stop of the first line with an em dash and then an 'Indent to here' (Ctrl+) so that any wrapped text is quickly brought into line.

@Son, @Siobhain, Illustrator nowadays have bulleted and numbered lists. Clunky AF, but it’s there.
Hardly as simple to set up as in InD, but doable.
What would you like to improve? -

I have spent the whole day trying to find out how to bring in my tab from standard spacing to what I want. Making this super easy would make my day :)

Setting Tab Indents with bullet points, like InDesign.
Being able to tab, set measurement and line up paragraph indents.We need this because there are times when we do packaging/signs that have bullets that need tab indents that are controllable and that line up to the text on the next line.
Shortcut = Command + | (set line indent)
Every designer has wanted this for decades.

I have been waiting years for this feature to be added. How can we get this more votes?

But allow to change the hotkey as well, please.

Adding a little extra functionality to Illustrator's copy ability would be great. Sometimes for short-form pieces I'm using Illustrator instead of In Design. This would save a ton of time and add efficiency to copy styling.
