Distribute / align on edges of an artboard or a shape
A request to add two buttons to the "Align" options :
distributing shapes on an artboard in order to have equal spaces between those two shapes AND the edges of the artboard.
This could work with more than two shapes, and artboard could also be replaced by another shape (like a background color...).
This should be clearer with a picture...

I would use this feature, as I'm always setting up things this way. For now I just eyeball it and then group, then align the group to the center of the artboard. It's not important that the spaces between each item an the edge of the artboard are the same, IN MY WORKFLOW, but it would be a nice to have for sure.

A workaround I personally use when I need to distribute objects like this, is to draw two lines (vertical, in case I need to distribute horizontally, and vice versa), align each one to the opposite edges of an artboard, and then to distribute the whole selection as usual. This is no exactly fast, but doable. See the attached GIF for clarification.
