Ignore commas in graph data
I create regional reports with a lot of data visualization, so I copy and paste from excel and google sheets all the time. The amount of time I spend removing commas from each number over 999 while creating graphs is wild. I'm working on finding better workflows for this, but if you could just make commas invisible or intelligible to the data window in Illustrator, I would be so happy!

Cloud file Versioning
I know this would be a huge lift, but cloud file versioning would be great. Beyond the obvious workflow advantages, it could facilitate working with cloud documents offline and syncing later without risking clobbering what's in there or attempting any sort of complex and error-prone diffing process.

キーボードの複合キーに対応してください
片手が不重なため、キーボードのアクセシビリティ設定で複合キーの設定が欠かせないのですが、キーボードの複合キーに対応していないせいで、コマンド、シフト、オプションキーを使用した操作が一切できず困っています。

integrate settings between Rosetta based release version and beta/prerelease
I need to switch between rosetta illustrator (for Astute Graphics plugins) and the beta native version.
Is it possible for them to share settings, or alternatively, would that be a workable feature?
I'm sure there would be complications, but I have to ask.1 vote -
copy and paste at pre selected place in group shape hierarchy
When did this change… I am 100% sure in the past when trying to paste a shape within the layered structure of a grouped set of objects, ….prior to pasting you could (A) Direct select, or maybe even double-click isolate a place in that layered grouping of shapes to specify where you want your newly pasted shape to go. Before I could, copy - hit (A) direct select an object, and then when I hit CTRL-F or V… the pasted object/shape would sit on top of previously selected shape in that layered hierarchy. Now, there’s no recognition.. or option to…

Movie Clip symbol?
When a Symbol is created, it defaults to 'Movie Clip'.
Is that a legacy from the Flash era?1 voteAs per the comment, it is still used in Animate.

Harmonization between Adobe apps
Switching from one app to another (Fresco, Illustrator or Photoshop), it is annoying not to find the equivalent tools at the same place (ex: pipette).
Would it be possible to have a better coherence between the apps?
I’ll post this question in the other suggestions forums too.
Thanks for your consideration.1 vote -
ペンツールのカーソルについて
ペンツールのカーソルが大きすぎて、使いづらいと感じています。
カーソルを自由に選べるようにならないでしょうか…？
（CS5のカーソルが使いやすかったです）1 voteCan be changed in Preferences > General > Use Precise cursors.
Also it can be easily switched on the fly with a press of Caps Lock — and this is the common reason for it to change. -
Please add legacy menus and tools as a workspace
Please, please add legacy menus and tools as an option for a workspace. I have been using AI 3 for years on my old G5 and recently went to a new iMac and bought the full line monthly for all Adobe programs. Acrobat is so much better, PS is tolerable, but AI is near impossible! Everything has moved, the tools react differently and I'm having a heck of a time trying to find everything! Page setup is gone, I do a lot of Image Tracing (all the way back to when you needed that extra program to do it!) and…

Show Contentpreview in hidden layers
When you hide a layer, the contentpreview in the little square in the Layers Panel is hidden. Finding a specific layer is terrible when it’s hidden (you only see the layers name).
That makes absolutely no sense to me and has no benefit that I can think of, to the contrary.
Please make it at least an option, or just make the Layerpreview always visible. I can see that it’s hidden when I see the eye canceled on the right, no need for more indication that its hidden.
Thanks

Keyboard shortcut to invoke the search box under the Help menu
I swear there used to be a keyboard shortcut to do this. Given the relative complexity of Illustrator, I rely on search to locate less frequently performed actions. I currently navigate by mouse up to the Help menu (which automatically gives the Search field focus), where I type in the first few characters of the action I wish to perform (results are refined as I type in more characters); this way, I can simply select the action I want right from the Help menu. It would be great if I could forego the mouse entirely and invoke that Help menu…

Libraries panel background
Can we stop changing the look of the Libraries panel.?!?!?

Select all the value at once
Is it possible when clicking on a value such the shape, dimensions or text height etc. to select all the value so it can be replaced faster. Right now I have to delete the values number by number or select all with Ctrl-A then delete.
It would be appreciated if you have the option to select all when clicking on it.
It will save a lot of time.

Each item in the document to have its own persistent history
Linear document history seems very dated considering how much ram computers have these days, a hierarchical multi-dimensional object oriented history seems like a good idea. It would be amazing if I could choose to access the history of each item in the layers panel. it might work similar to file versioning solutions like GIT.
This history could be optionally saved into the file or cloud library so it can be accessed across sessions.

protect against accidental micro-adjustments during object selection
There are many times, most often while I am either double clicking to get into isolation mode, or selecting a layer as I am moving the mouse, where I accidentally move the object I clicked on a tiny bit, this becomes a problem on some pieces of artwork where math and/or high level accuracy are involved, and the adjustments are so minimal that they aren't noticed until its too late to undo.
It would be really cool if illustrator somehow detected or prevented against accidental unwanted adjustments. the idea occurred to me after seeing my phone attempt to block accidental…

your default workspace is completely off point of the tools illustrators need close at hand
hey, folks, I've been using Illustrator continuously (and intensely) since 1987. Every time I make a transition to a new Mac and load a fresh copy of the Creative Suite, I'm frustrated by the task of rebuilding the essential palette of tools that need to be close at hand in Illy for max productivity — color, stroke, character, align + pathfinder, layers . . . your out-of-the-box defaults have it all wrong. Makes me wonder: do any of you people actually use this product for making stuff in the day to day? And good god, please stop with the scrubby…

Allow scroll to zoom in the navigation area
I have zoom to scroll turned on in the settings but we can't zoom to scroll in the navigation area just the main window. Can you please fix this? Allowing people to choose which way they scroll to zoom in or out would also be nice for accessibility.

Tool Bar exportable.
Serait il possible de pouvoir exporter ses Barre d'outils perso?
Comme les espaces de travail il serait pertinent de pouvoir sauvegarder ses paramétrages d'interface pour les récupérer d'une version à l'autre, ou d'une machine à l'autre (changement d'ordinateur, ou de plateforme).
Ce serait également pratique dans le cas de la perte des Barres d'outils de base quand Ai ne les retrouve plus.Merci

Inserir aviso ao aplicar pincéis em uma figura complexa
Hoje precisei criar pincéis a partir de aquarelas fotografadas e vetorizadas, no entanto, cada vez que precisava editar algum valor de um pincel nos testes e estava, acidentalmente com uma figura complexa selecionada (no caso o próprio vetor da aquarela) o Illustrator passava a tentar aplicar o pincel aos contornos da imagem e o resultado era, invariavelmente, a interrupção do funcionamento do programa, com longos minutos de espera.
Tudo isso poderia ser evitado se, considerando a complexidade da pergunta, um aviso fosse dado antes para o usuário.
