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.?!?!?
Can we have an option to adjust the transparency's of the links? so they view better with a darker background?1 vote -
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…

It would be nice if on the apple pencil you could assign the Modifier circle to the Double tap button on the Apple pencil.

Description: Visible backgrounds/Previews
As an example: Effects > Distort & Transform> Free Distort which has a dialogue box where you manipulate the effect but, the preview doesn't show the graphic within the context of your design (attached sample). Because some controls like Free Distort don't have a slider, or mathematical value we can assign, it's very challenging to manipulate the graphic with any contextual accuracy. For this particular effect, and others that have a similar user experience, if there was a live Preview, or a window showing it in context of it's area of the artboard, it would minimize the nudging/adjusting/clicking that has…

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.

Take Layer Style out from Opacity and add hover preview
Layer style dropdown is hidden under Opacity. This is not intuitive. Request moving it to the top level of the Properties UI.
Hovering over Layer Style name does not give a preview unlike in Photoshop.

All creative cloud document preview when applications are not running
Sorry for my Tarzan's english. On Mac Big Sur I'm suffering a lot because it's impossible to see documents preview with space bar when a file is selected. I need this feature with Illustrator and InDesign! Thank you. BTW: Art View doesn't works anymore.

All Adobe apps - New Document Page (UI)
Although Adobe aims to keep their user interface simple and efficient, the current <New Document Page> lacks of readability for its users. It's too dark and this makes it harder to read what symbols stand for. I think Adobe should;
1) Use larger icons on this interface.
2) Make the icons relatable for the name of the products (iPhone, etc.)
3) Add color(s) on this design.1 vote -
