X e Y muito proximo de L e A
as lacunas dos controladores de posição ficam muito proximos dos controladores de dimensão e por diversas vezes isso confunde o uso.

Font Family field (and others) in Character panel (and others) doesn’t get resized
If we dock Character panel together with a panel that can be resized (like Layers), we get the ability to resize both.
Sound useful if you need to long font names... but this is the filed that doesn’t get resized.I don’t really object against the layout of the panel (although it’d benefit from getting reshuffled, adaptive layouts is not a new thing in UI), but perhaps Ai should resize fields at least?

Is there a way to turn off the "Help Toolbar" (grey bar with "?") at the bottom of the screen?
Can this be a Preference to be turned off if not needed? It eats into valuable real estate at the bottom. I used to be able to view an 8.5 x 11 document @100% on my 27" iMac. Now I have to reduce it down to fit.
2 votesWe can hide it with Window > Help Bar command, the same way we choose the other panels to show or hide

Show build number on splash screen
Ai is evergreen, sure, SaaS and things...
But it’s extremely important to know what exact build we are using all the time since features and bugs differ.
Help > About shows the build number, but why not show it directly on the splash screen as well?2 votes -
Unify / bring closer the contextual task bar with the simplify/smooth adjustment bar
When I chose Edit Path from the contextual task bar to smooth or simplify a path, the slider bar for the smooth menu pops up somewhere near the path not on the same contextual task bar, so on multiple actions that means a lot of mouse travel from the contextual task bar to the simplify/smooth adjustment bar.

Correct View > Snap to Grid shortcut from Cmd/Ctrl+" to proper Cmd/Ctrl+'
My request is a bit nerdy, but hey! I have been using Illustrator for 'ages' and one of the shortcuts is simply not correct. I always think it's cute, in a way, but still.
The shortcut to show or hide the grid is listed as Ctrl + "
This is impossible to achieve since you need the 'Shift' key to type the double quotation marks :)
So, I think it should be Ctrl + ' .
The shortcut to snap to the grid is fun in this light; it's Ctrl + Shift + "
So, I was wondering if anyone…2 votes -
Preference for keyboard increments in NUMERICAL value boxes
I love being able to use the up/down keys to change the values of the numerical values in panels and dialog boxes such as OFFSET PATH.
The problem is that the incremental jumps are to far (1/8 of an inch when set to inches). We can use modifier keys to increase or decrease this jump, BUT it is still big jumps.
I can find no other way to adjust this other than moving to Points or pixels for the measuring through right clicking the ruler, even though I am working in inches. This moves the increment to those base values:…

Allow to change transparency/opacity with digit (number) keys, as in Photoshop
Photoshop allows us to start typing numbers and thus change the opacity for the selected layers. If we are fast enough, we can type something like '57' and Ps takes it as 57%. Pressing zero makes it 100%.
There is no way to disable this in Ps... and it doesn’t allow to use digits keys for any other command or a tool.
Ai allows to map digits just fine (and 1 and 2 are used for Quick Pen Tool currently), and it also allows to map keys to opacity values in Keyboard Shortcuts > Tools — although these are not…

Please figure out how windows work. AI app window keeps on getting obstructed and out of focus
my idea, is that the app window is "in focus" as soon as you touch any part of it. Being no web app can obscure it — which it does on the daily. Webex, Chrome and even Safari feel free appearing on top of my AI window. Ma dudes. Tell me I am not the 1st one to notice.

Show status for Hide/Show Edges
It would be really useful if you had an indicator in the toolbar that shows if Edges are currently Hidden or Shown. It could also be a toggle, but just showing the status clearly and always would be enough.

Allow to make menus and dropdowns more compact on smaller screens
Anything under 1920x1080 does not allow for UI scaling. I use the drop down menus a lot. When I have to also scroll on each drop down menu it causes a lot of time loss. If I could scale the menu lists to remove the need to scroll it would be very helpful.
I see that the tab/menu for Effect is still an older style menu list. It's much more compact.
Maybe there is a way to revert all the menu lists to that older style?

Option to disable scroll bar to make the working area bigger.
I do not need the information in the scroll bar and all the information stored there.

How to make home page preview transparent background?
Hello! I am wondering how to change the preview mode on Illustrator's home page to be transparent instead of white. It just started doing this recently and I can't figure out why. It's nothing much but annoying to me.

Change thickness of the bounding box lines
Some of the bounding boxes are not easily visible on some colors. Although that can be changed based on the layer options, it would be beneficial for those who are using high res monitors and/or don't see as well to make them thicker.

Synchronise tiled windows
I would like to have all tiled windows use the same panning and zoom settings as the window I am currently working in.
• How it's working now: each tiled window has its own zoom factor. Panning with the hand tool moves the view inside the active window.
• How it should work: zoom and panning are synched between all tiled windows. They all have the same zoom factor and X/Y position. If I zoom in the active window, all other windows zoom in as well; if I pan in one window, all other windows pan in the same manner.…

Move document tabs under cursor when closing documents
When closing multiple document tabs using the X button on the side of the tab, the next document will move under the cursor. However, the tab size changes based on window size, filename length, etc. A better way would be to resize tab length after the cursor is moved away. The result would be that if you close Tab 1, Tab 2 would slide over and the X button would appear under the cursor. Many tabs could be easily closed without moving the cursor.
An example of software that uses this UI is Safari on Mac. Chrome does it too,…

Text to Vector Graphics (Beta) Feature: Delete multiple Variations
Hello,
Please add the option to delete multiple AI generated variations.
At this moment, if you hit the limit of generated variations, you are only able to select and delete 1 at a time, (which is very time consuming) instead of selecting multiple variations for deletion.
