1. Move Blend Mode keyboard shortcuts from the Tools into the Menu Commands section

   If you open Keyboard Shortcuts, make sure you have Tools selected, scroll all the way down, you’ll see all 'Blend Mode - [name of the mode]' commands there — empty, ready to be assigned... but. Opt/Alt cant’ be used for these. Because these are in tooools. Which means these can be bound only to naked keys and Shift+keys. Which are all taken, long time ago!

   So please move Blend Mode keyboard shortcuts from the Tools section into the Menu Commands section, so we can use all possible modifiers for these, and not only Shift.

   Also, why do we even have this limitation? What law forbids me to use, say, Alt+7 for a tool?

   So please also vote for these:

   — Allow all modifiers to be used for anything anywhere:

2. Select Compound Shapes by visible parts only

   When working with Compound Shapes, I don't' want to 'feel' the original paths which in many cases cover paths beneath.
   Make it work like a Clipping Mask.
   Maybe af preference to select only visible parts is a solution.

3. 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.

4. Select Same Text Contents

   Please make a way to select text object with the same contents.
   Would be very useful for many practical cases.
   Sure with have Find and Replace, but it won’t allow us to SELECT these text objects,, which we can use for styling, hiding, moving, rearranging, and more.

   Done (In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   The latest Beta version (27.7) has the ability to filter contents of the Layers panel with an input field at the top of the panel. It does not directly select the objects that have the chosen value in their names (this includes the text contents), but allows to select them faster in the panel.

   Does it help?

5. PDF Bookmarks named with the Artboard Titles

   Similar to this request for XD:
   https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/18995113-pdf-bookmarks-named-with-the-artboard-titles

   When exporting artboards to a PDF, the artboard title should be included in some way.

   I think this could be as simple as creating a bookmark for each artboard.

6. Created Intertwine zones are invisible both on canvas and in Layers and can’t be really edited and repositioned

   When we try to edit an already created Intertwine object, we don’t edit it actually, it’s more like we create another one instead.

   There is no way to fix a mistake rather than undo (if it’s an imminent one), or disassemble it completely (if it’s an old one), we can’t reposition zones, scale them, attach to the particular segment or point (like with the #ProjectMagenticType from 2022 MAX), we can't delete one or change the order of segments in an existing one.
   We can’t even see which zones do we already have, even when we create them still for the first time!

   This is huge and this needs to be addressed.

7. A rectangular marquee in Intertwine edit mode can’t be repositioned with Spacebar held

   When I draw a rectangle, I can hold Space bar to reposition it to a place I want. This would make defining zones in Intertwine Edit mode so much easier, but no, this is not possible — yet, I hope.

   Also this is not possible when a new artboard is created which is also a miss: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45845635-hold-space-to-reposition-an-artboard-while-creatin

8. Hold Space to reposition an artboard while creating it

   When I create a rectangle, I can hold Space bar to reposition it to a place I want. For some reason this is not possible when I create new artboards, which are also rectangles in a way.

9. Lasso tool in Intertwine is not the actual Lasso tool and needs a separate cursor

   This implies a user can use other tools to draw an intertwine zone, but switching tools just leads to ending the editing mode — which also does not get telegraphed well enough, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/45845602-make-intertwine-edit-mode-telegraphed-better.

   While the action this pseudo-tool performs is more or less the same, the difference is murky. Either change the cursor or make the mode more clear.

10. A group can’t be turned into an Intertwine object

    I suspect it’s because the team is going to improve Intertwines and make then operate on groups as elements, instead of single paths, but this does not mean a single selected group should be affected and block us from converting it to an intertwined art.

    Live Paint allows to convert a group, no problem with that.

11. Add Expand command for Intertwine objects

    Unlike other special objects, like Live Paint-s, Envelopes, Blends, etc., Intertwine objects don’t have their own Expand command. It’s not very consistent.

    We need this command to appear in the menu, the context menu, Properties, Control.

    Repeats don’t have this one too, which is also strange: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/41138800-repeat-expand-appearance

    We have to use the general Object > Expand: Object for this — but is has a dialog, which is not always nice.
    A specific Expand allows to choose the order of operations for a complex objects. Take blends, for example — if you apply 'expands' in a wrong order, you risk to expand the content first, and get a wrong blend between already expanded objects.

    Yes, there is another unintended workaround, — apply any effect and get it expanded on its own (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45845533), but this is not how it should work!

12. Hitting Escape while creating a shape, an artboard, while using Rotate, Scale, etc., doesn't cancel the process

    When we marquee a selection and hit Escape — it gets canceled.
    When we hit Escape while dragging out a guide — it gets canceled.
    Dragging out a brush on the canvas — works.
    Dragging out a swatch to drop it on a gradient or the canvas — works.
    Dragging the appearance form the Appearance panel — works.
    ...and many other cases

    Escape does NOT work for these cases:
    1. Creating a shape, an artboard, an area text
    2. Rotating, scaling, shearing, free transforming...
    3. Setting up the width with the Width tool
    4. Setting up the gradient with the Gradient tool
    5. Building a shape with the Shape Builder tool
    6. Using the Eyedropper
    ...and many other cases

13. 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.

14. Fractional resolution value in Document Raster Effects Settings

    I live in a metric part of the world and use millimeters as my main measuring unit, including type, strokes, and raster effects.

    Since inch a s SI unit, it now equals exactly 2.54mm.
    For me it means 254ppi is 100ppcm, 127ppi is 50ppcm, and instead of 300ppi I use 120ppcm (equals 304.8ppi) — which gives me exact integer dimensions for all of images I use. The grid becomes meaningful and all objects behave and befriend each other.

    Unfortunately for me, Illustrator plays this game not as good as I want it to — I can’t enter 304.8 to Resolution field of Document Raster Effects Settings — Ai rounds it down to 304.

    Funny thing is I CAN Rasterize with 304.8ppi set alright... but not Export, because Ai then round it up to 305ppi.

    Veeery consistent.
    Photoshop by the way allows to use PPCM in Preferences.

15. API for getting the reflection/flip property of an image frame

    We would like to get the flip property of an image frame..
    It can be in a similar way to the way we get the rotation by passing the matrix:
    AIAPI void (*AIRealMatrixGetRotate) ( const AIRealMatrix *m, AIReal *angle );

    If this is not possible, then as a workaround we can get some notifies, for example: kFlipHorizontalNotifier or kFlipVerticalNotifier in order to know that the user selects to flip the image.

    Thanks,
    Chen

16. Font Height Options - "Cap Height" option by default

    The new font height option is great!

    However, working in the sign trade, everyone including our clients (who are mostly Architects) specify text by cap height so we are constantly changing the default Em size to cap height.

    It would save a lot of time and also eliminate any potential size issues with someone having the wrong option selected which could be very costly.

17. Allow eyedropper to ignore locked layers.

    Allowing the eyedropper to optionally ignore the contents of locked layers would be very useful. Having a locked layer with transparency above an active layer and trying to sample a line weight, only to sample the fill or other attributes of a transparent object that you're working "through" is very frustrating.

18. Absolute mode that always sets a fill a single click and stroke with the Alt+click/right click

    Setting a color for fill and stroke depends on what is 'active' in the toolbox. This is a relative mode mode and it's unique for Adobe apps (and their imitators/imitators).

    What about giving a direct way of setting fill/stroke, without remembering which is in focus now? somewhat like Corel Draw does?
    Give us an option to be able to set a fill with a single click, and a stroke with the Alt+click (and additionally bringing it to focus), or right click.

19. Convert to path object - keep object name

    When I rasterise a letter or text in Photoshop, the layer keeps the original name.

    Why can't Illustrator do the same? I type the letter A and the object in layers has the name "A". If I now change the letter to a Path object, the group is no longer called "A" but "group". What is still ok with one letter, becomes very annoying with 500 letters. Especially when it comes to special characters like ́ ˘ ̧ ̒ ̋ ̏ ̀ ̌ ̦ ̊ ̄ - ̨ ̣ ̇ ̷ ̃ ̈ ^, which are difficult to read in the palette layer anyway.
