Summer improvments
- Eyedropper for text (ref. InDesign)
- Instant resize at artboards bounds for clipping masks
- Instant adaptive fit to bounds for images inside clipping masks (ref. InDesign)
- Find and replace tool with live selection of contents with window open
- A shortcut for Trim View (tried to customize but it doesn't work)
- A better way to concatenate text frames (always requires more attempts)
- Fix the copy/paste text issue with Whatsapp desktop (if try to paste text in a conversation you have the image of it)
- Option to increase values with right button of mouse or digital pen

2. First of all, if this about creating artboard-sized rectangles only, I advise you to take a look at this free script by Sergey Osokin, DrawRectanglesByArtboards — https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Draw.md#drawrectanglesbyartboards
Then, if it’s about crating backgrounds for artboards, please check the latest Beta build, because this is WIP and is ready for testing: Artboard background color needs to be user-assignable — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31386253
Finally, if this is about resizing any art to the active artboard, there is a script you can try, again by Sergey, FitSelectionToArtboards — https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Item.md#fitselectiontoartboards
If you have feedback on scripts, please share them here, Sergey monitors the space.
If it’s something else you try to achieve altogether — please share some examples, record a video.5. Good! Restarting and resetting Preferences is often a solution to problems like this (I can’t san it’s an intended one)
6. It behaves better for me in Beta... although I agree Ai should give more feedback. I think this needs to be a separate request. Please try to test Beta as well as disabling Smart Guides and let me know if there is a difference.
8. Allow to resize my current tool with like in Photoshop, with Alt and right-dragging (Windows) / Ctrl + Opt (Mac) — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32143741
For now you can use bracket keys — [ and ] -

Hi Egor, sorry for ALL CAPS... I honestly don't know how it could have happened. I'm actually a pretty nice man.
And sorry for list of suggestions.
Let me explain something and then I will open individual requests.
2) Imagine that I have a rectangle and that in one fell swoop I can adapt it to the edges of artboard without having to select the two anchor points of the line and having to align them to the edge.
5) This time it still working after restart! : )))))
6) Watch attached video "Link Text", please
8) I mean like in Photoshop where during the working phase with the right button + alt you can enlarge or decrease the values of the brushes, erasers, etc...
Thanks in advance for your time.
...and Peace!!!

One request per entry, please, Tommaso! :/
Some of these are already requested / reported, some others are decent enough to have their own entry... Piling these like this makes it harder for the team to track the interest of users and for the users to find and upvote.
Sadly, UserVoice allows to split an idea only into 2 entries.1. Eyedropper for text like in InDesign — do you mean this?
Loaded eyedropper just like in InDesign — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32194615
or maybe this?
Switch to Eyedropper while editing text — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/440848622. If there are many clip masks on the artboard — how would Ai tell which one should it use to automatically resize to? Don’t reply 'this should work with only 1 clip group' :)
3. Fitting option like in InDesign — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40607677
4. Find and Replace Graphics — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34659661
5. Trim View hotkey — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/36785251
If you can’t assign it manually using Keyboard Shortcuts — please make a separate a bug report and tell more — what do you try and what happens.6. Concatenate text frames?
Not sure what you mean exactly. Please provide at least some screenshots, with before and after.7. As far as I know, this is handled by OS and the target apps themselves.
It’s WahtsApp who prefers to choose the graphics part of the clipboard multi-content, just because it can.
You’d have to 'Paste as text' inside of the WhatsApp page / app.
Another method would be to go to Preferences > Clipboard handling and disable Include SVG Code on Copy — but then you’ll loose the ability to paste graphics into apps who can handle SVG data better than WhatsApp, like Figma. It’s your choice, Ai can’t guess it.8. Increasing values with right mouse / pen button...
Do you mean something like scrubbing?
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31977841
Why right though? Is this something that other apps use? Please tell more.And please don’t use ALL CAPS, it’s rude (fixed)
