1. Add trackpad support for Windows / Surface devices (zoom, scroll, etc.)

   Windows Surface Book trackpads have little to no gesture support. It's incredibly annoying. Please add pinch to zoom, two finger scrolling, etc.. The same functionality you would expect on a macbook would be great.

2. Lock palettes or allow to undo UI changes

   So many times I accidentally dragged palettes' icons instead of clicking them to open/close! Each time then I had to drag it back to place it was before or reset my workspace! A simple command 'Undo last UI change' or tick 'Lock UI' would save a lot of time for such clumsy people as I.

3. Allow to snap gradient sliders to integer values

   I'm huge fan of snapping.
   I snap tabs to units, I snap to grid, I snap almost everything — this allow me to narrow my design workflow and keep artwork organized.
   Not everyone does need this, but I do.

   I suffer from absence of snapping for gradient sliders.
   I wish I can move one and make it snap at 40, by eye, and not 40.73 and then correct this value by hand.
   Please, make an option to snap sliders to integer values.

4. Make setting reference point hotkeyable

   Problem Description:
   I change the reference point all the time.
   I'm so tired of grabbing a mouse and searching for a reference grid and precisely clicking in a tiny-tiny square.
   Please add a possibility to set a hotkey for each position!

   Look, there is a whole numbers block at the right side of a keyboard (if you are not using these fancy ***** castrated versions which don't have it). I could have used it to set the reference point, using something like Ctrl+Shift+3 to set it to the right bottom.
   I can use an action for doing this, bit I'm long ago all out of F-keys, exactly because simple operations, like Align buttons, can't be hotkeyed (upd: now they can, but Distribute buttons still can't)

   Please! Hotkeys!
   'Performance' is not only processing speed, it's also about speed of user interaction. User would always be the weakest part of the process, why would you limit it?
   Please allow us to automate tasks more!

5. When will it be possible that Adobe Illustrator to create and import objects of more than 32000 points?

   When will it be possible that Adobe Illustrator to create and import objects of more than 32000 nodes? Why is it still cannot (at the end of 2017)? It is a very big limitation for those of us who work in mapping projects (because the vector geometries are in need of a great graphic definition).
   ​

   An added problem is that even though we use specific plugins of cartography (Avenza MAPublisher, for example) like they work in Adobe Illustrator they suffer the same limitation and they do not suppose any alternative…

   By when a definitive solution?​

6. Make rulers bigger in with larger UI scales

   I know Illustrator has the 'For High PPI Displays . . .' option for higher scale factors but, that is reliant on the OS custom graphic scaling.

   1 - Either allow for custom/pre-set ruler size or
   2 - Make it like Photoshop.

7. Changing an object not updating it in Asset Export

   In this video Export assets for web and app design | it's all like perfect — after changing object color — it's will be updated too in asset export, yes...
   But in real life I want not just change a color, I want to made much more changes, just by adding new polygons path, and so — it will not update asset at export. Because only what I've selected before and dragged into asset will be updated.

   What needs to be done — if I right click on polygons which already "connected" with asset for export — in menu should be added a new option, like "Update export asset".

8. Ability to save presets for each tab in 3D and Materials panels: Object, Materials, Lighting

   Illustrator allows us to save appearance attributes as graphic styles, but recently we got the complex 3D and Materials effect that has a lot of different parameters in it.

   The current system allows us to save all of these parameters altogether: extrusion depth, rotation angles, material settings, applied lights...
   But if we need to save ONE of these — that is, for example, only the material, or only the lights, or only extrusion and rotations, — Ai does not provide means to do it.

   Please introduce a system to save presets per each tab the 3D and Materials panel has: Object, Materials, Lighting.

   Also think of the method to store these as additive styles and incorporate it in Graphics styles maybe, to avoid blurring the preset system.

9. Switch to Eyedropper while editing text

   While editing text, we often need to grab the Eyedropper tool to pick some formatting or color for the selected range from another object. An instinct whispers 'Press I key' — and it obviously but often unexpectedly replaces the range with the 'I'. Undo!
   Then me might think of pressing Alt — and it does temporarily switch to Pan — which is cool and useful, since you can’t hit space.
   We need a modifier to temporarily switch to Eydropper.

   ...but all modifiers are taken (except fort Ctrl+Shift, which swithes input languages if you have several for some users) and Ctrl+Alt+Shift (which is too long to be a viable solution).

   What if we change the behavior of pressing Shift while in editing text mode? Most probably nobody needs to create new text object with vertical orientation while editing a text, right? Let’s use Shift for temp switching!

10. Delete Hidden Layers command - Inappropriately named?

    The latest version of Illustrator (25.3) introduces a new command in the flyout menu of the Layers palette. It is called Delete Hidden Layers.

    It's a useful command, but it also deletes hidden groups and objects inside visible layers and visible groups as well. These are not what most Illustrator users would describe as 'Layers' and thus the naming of this command may cause a lot of trouble.

    There should perhaps be at least two or three different commands: Delete Hidden Layers and Delete Hidden Objects and Delete All Hidden Items.

11. Add a button to save document presets like Photoshop has

    Photoshop has a button to save presets when you create a new document. I love that feature makes my job easier, I wish Illustrator had that same button instead of having to save the files as templates. So much simpler and faster with the button right there.

15. Make units and grid settings to be bound to file

    I work for screen and print media simultaneously in different files
    I work in metric units.
    I need to have 'mm' for general-stroke-type in design for printing and 'px' in other file for screen.
    I'm so tired to change units every time I Ctrl+Tab between them. By hand, every time!
    Ctrl+Shift+U change only general units, and I have to skip all picas-inches I never use.
    I have to Ctrl+K, click Units and drop down three menus every time I need to see units I need in file I need!
    PostScript is cool, point reassigned as a strict fraction of an inch is cool, so USA don't notice much when points-pixels turn into inches.
    But other people, living in huge metric world, freak out seeing grid step 28,35px instead of previously set 10mm and 35,28mm instead of 10px!
    Bind units to file already!

16. Adding more brushes to the touch workspace...

    I would like to be able to change my brush style while I'm working in the touch workspace. I can go into the essentials workspace and it reverts back to a simple brush when you change back to the touch workspace. It's extremely frustrating. Other programs can use other brushes and change layers, so it makes using Illustrator for drawing very difficult.

17. Visual indicator between a layer and a group

    In the layers panel, a group and a layer look the same in appearance. Thus, when a named group un-grouped accidently, it loses its name. This mostly occurs due to lack of visual dissimilarity between and group and layer thumbnail. May be a small marker in the corner of the thumbnail (indicating whether its a layer or a group) should do the trick.

19. When Gradient Tool is active, make holding Alt switch to Eyedropper tool

    If we hold Alt when Gradient tool is active and there is a stop selected, we can click with Alt in Swatches to apply it to the stop (although no cursor feedback or hint signals it can be done). Besides this function, Alt+click is used for nothing...

    Use it to temporarily switch to the Eyedropper tool. This is a standard approach in many apps, it’s fast to learn, and just convenient.

20. Highlight an anchor point used as a key object

    Keying an anchor point is a lesser known option for aligning and distributing.

    Clicking an object in a selection to key it is a thing that can be learnt by a chance (that is how I learned it myself), but using the latest selected point as a key is not a behaviour that is easily noticed.

    The change of the mode is marked only via the small icon in the corner of Align panel, and nothing else on the artboard tells about it — compare this to the fat edge a key object uses.

    Can you try to make a key point somewhat more visible?
