1. Jumble Characters Option

   I would love a feature where you could jumble characters in a text box to simulate what you see in many Children's based design elements of titles and such. Currently you have to outline your text and then start manually turning your letters slightly while pushing and pulling your kerning/spacing and baselines. Possibly three options; rotate clockwise, counter-clockwise and random with sliding scales for how extreme to turn them.

2. Add an option to not zoom to the artboard at newly created files

   When you create a document in Ai, it first gets created and they Ai fits the artboard in window. For me, at Windows, it also happens with a noticeable delay, which sucks.
   But in the first place — why does it do it? I never asked for it, I want it to be at 100% and have it fitted only when the artboard is larger than my viewport, not smaller!
   I’d like to have at least a key value to edit somewhere in Prefs file to disable this auto-zooming.

3. Disabling Keep Selected option for Pencil tool should not deselect path that is edited

   A detail that I'm missing from the legacy Pencil tool.

   It’s a missing detail in the option keep to path selected or deselected after being drawn.

   When this option is unchecked the object is deselected.
   If the path is selected again to be drawn upon to adjust the shape. It deselects it again.
   Now that's all logical and according to what the option says its supposed to do.

   BUT

   The legacy Pencil tool before its rewrite it worked almost like that but not quite the same, and it was great.

   So you had the option to have the path deseletced after drawing.
   BUT if you den reselected it it stayed selected for as long as you needed it to adjust the shape.

   So to be clear I'm gonna try to describe the process

   Draw shape.
   Shape drawn, not selected.
   Select the drawn shape to draw on it to adjust it, its selected, you draw on on it, it still stays selected.

   This was very useful. Because usually you just want it deselected on first draw, but sometimes you need to go in and adjust a particular shape and then you're in the mode of massaging that shape and want it selected till you're done.

   Please try the old pencil tool out and you will understand what i mean.
   Please implement this again.

   Basically that the shape only deselect upon first draw. If reselected again it stays selected till you decide when to deselect it.
   It worked like this for 20 years or however long the the pencil too has been around.

5. Allow to change the UI language inside the program

   Add language option inside the program, instead of using system standard language. And can't use Creative Cloud application. My school have already application from Adobe which is install before hand. And applications has not been added to the list in Creative Cloud, there for I can't edit language.

6. Hide contents outside of a clipping mask from the selection tool

   Contents outside of a mask boundaries are still visible from the selection tool, so i's often tricky to select other objects behind. It would be great to have an option to just see the boundary of the mask with the selection tool.

7. Toggle to Disable touch input

   Option to disable touch input, AKA pen mode, so that we can't (accidentally) draw strokes/shapes/etc while interacting with the interface or zooming with multi touch. Just like Photoshop does.

8. Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#

   Adobe Illustrator Scripting VERY slow - C#
   Hello,

   i'm developting a small library to access PathObjects in Illustrator (works fine for CS2, CS5) - but i have massive performance problems with CC2019. I am using VS2017.

   Code looks like:

   Type AIType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(AIAppName);
   dynamic illuApp = Activator.CreateInstance(AIType);

   if (illuApp == null)
   {
   return;
   }

   if (illuApp.Documents.Count < 1)
   {
   return;
   }

   System.Array lll = illuApp.ActiveDocument.selection;
   if (lll != null)
   {
   for (int i = 0; i < lll.Length; i++)
   {
   dynamic path = lll.GetValue(i);
   if (path != null)
   {
   var lll2 = path.PathPoints;
   Application.DoEvents();
   int iSelCount = lll2.Count;
   if (iSelCount >= 4)
   {
   string sss = path.typename;
   float dH = (float)(path.Height / dScale);
   float dW = (float)(path.Width / dScale);
   float dL = (float)(path.Left / dScale);
   float dT = (float)Math.Abs(path.Top / dScale);
   dynamic obCol = path.FillColor;
   sss = obCol.typename;
   Color col = Color.Black;
   if (sss.Contains("CMYK"))
   {
   var r = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Cyan / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
   var g = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Magenta / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
   var b = (int)(255 * (1 - obCol.Yellow / 100) * (1 - obCol.Black / 100));
   col = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
   }
   else if (sss.Contains("RGB"))
   {
   int r = (int)(obCol.Red);
   int g = (int)(obCol.Green);
   int b = (int)(obCol.Blue);
   col = Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
   }

               Data.Add(NewInfo (dL, dT, dW, dH, col);
           }
       }
   }
   

   }

   Until CS5, processing 1000 selected rectangles need a couple of seconds, but on newer CC Versions it needs MINUTES.

   I use exactly the same code - is there something i am missing?

   Mainly accessing "path.PathPoints" (needs ~ 15 msec.) and "path.FillColor" (needs ~ 20 msec.) are time consuming.

   Thanks in advance for any hint! I have the performance issues on Win 7 and on Win 10.

10. Focus the Search field in Preferences (introduced in Beta 29.7.0.60) when the dialog gets opened, and focus the found and highlighted option

    Search in Preferences, originally requested here (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/42476344) is a welcome feature! However, it works not as it should be, as shown in the GIF attached.

    1. The field should get immediately focused instead of Keyboard Increment field, so we can start searching right away after calling the dialog with Cmd/Ctrk+K
    2. When it finds an option that can be toggled (a checkmark) or focused (a field) — it should focus it, so we can toggle it with s Space or type a new value This makes the whole experience mouse-free for those who are in a hurry (and we are). It doesn’t take away from anybody else, with a pen or a mouse, it just makes it more accessible...

    Under Review  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    This change broke the existing method to quickly access the Keyboard Increment value, reported here. The team decided to revert this change until a better solution is found. Please watch this space for further news.

11. Keyboard Increment per document type

    Under Preferences > General it is possible to set the "keyboard increment" - how far each tap of an arrow key moves the selected art. The problem is, I want this to be different depending on what I'm doing.

    It would suit me ideally if I could set the keyboard increment to 5mm when working on a print document (CMYK/300DPI) and 10px when working on a digital document (RGB/72DPI).

12. Option to allow to group a single group, making it nested

    Sometimes we need to group a group. For example, for complex appearances, to nest graphics styles.
    But Illustrator does not allow that — and in most cases it’s a proper cautious behavior. But perhaps it can be toggled somewhere?

    So far we have two workarounds for this.
    1. Create a dummy object, select both it and the group you want to 'wrap', group them together, delete the dummy object.
    2. Use a script 'Add Group Anyway': https://onthehead.com/ais/group003/ (it also can pull children form different groups into a new one — which is a thing we want too).

15. Make Redefine Graphic Style option better accessible, and from the Graphic Styles panel too

    If Ai had a hotkey for this command (like this request is asking for: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41254435), perhaps this one would be less painful.

    Yes, I know, you edit an appearance in the Appearance panel, and then force this changes to update the original style, using the panel’s flyout menu... but

    A. I often start looking the wrong panel, thinking 'I am updating a graphic style, so the relevant command should be in Graphic Styles' — and when I realize it’s a wrong assumption, it’s too late. For some reason this habit is hard to change!

    B. Why this command is still a menu item still? This is not a rare operation at all, it deserves its own small 'Update' button, in both panels!

    Here, I put them in their places. The only problem is that it can be confused with the Clear Appearance one... but I can take it.

17. Add option to change stroke/font units faster

    For my workflow I constantly need to change the unit of strokes between points and inches. It would be nice to add a way to change them in 1 click rather than going Edit > Preferences > Units every single time. Not a huge change but would be quite convenient and probably fairly easy to implement. We can currently set the unit of the whole document in a window, but not things like stroke/font. Could just add the option to the existing stroke window like the attached picture.
