Handedness is often overlooked. Also, it is scientifically less-understood.

DEAR ADOBE: You are uniquely positioned to study handedness in a way that has potentially never been more insightful. Please invest in tech-development, research, and design to make your tools unique, more efficient, and more useful for left-handed, right handed, ambidextrous, or custom users (either hand preferences, foot pedals, or other). This includes interface, hotkeys, and mental models, interactivity, etc. Potentially, a "righty" could learn from "lefty"mode. And vice-versa. "Everyone/standard" mode is critical. However, why not introduce development towards understanding and helping HUMANITY understand handedness. Also, Some users may not have hands. Shout out to Def Leppard!

Similar to the way a piano has pedals, It would be nice to have a toggle mode for entirely overhauling the ENTIRE ADOBE CC Suite (potentially controlled from the CCpanel).

Handedness is not black and white. If integrating artificial intelligence into the responsive palette/interface, please consider handedness as CRITICAL!

For example: I use a mouse right handed, but write left-handed.

It would be great to have hotkey mode for left-handed typing (using a right-handed mouse)
If I switch to use my tablet, it would be great to toggle everything to left-handed hotkey mode.

Occasional popups with questions asking preferences in each mode could further enhance the experience. "learn my handedness mode" could be like syncronizing the original "nintendo duck hunt' gun prior to 'gameplay'

Regardless, some [of my favorite or] likely most-frequent hotkey combinations are nearly impossible with one hand.

For such functions, "Create a new button" feature would be OUTSTANDING! "Create your handedness palette" and add buttons for "send object to back/front" or anything not biassed against DYSLEXIA, etc. would be WONDERFUL!

Thank you.

When opening a 'New Window' a user currently can select different zoom levels to view a specific area in a document (full document view in one window and a macro view in the second window). I call this view 'aligned'.

The reason I call it aligned is represented by this scenario (at least this happens for my installation): the main document shows the top of a document containing a text block; the second window shows the bottom of a document also containing a text block - assume both windows are floating so that both are visible at the same time.

Now let's say you want to edit the type block in window 1 while reading content in the type block in window 2, the second you edit the type block in window 1 the view in window 2 'ALIGNS' with window 1 ... preventing you from reading/copying the text in window 2.

It would be a great feature if one was able to choose whether the New Window 'aligned' content or not. This way one could use New Windows to not only get different zoom levels within the same area but one could show different parts of the document and even artboards in the New Windows.

By doing this, one is able to reduce the time it takes to scroll through the document and artboards because close-up views of different parts could be compared and edited without New Windows jumping around to 'align' with Window 1.

I would enjoy Illustrator a lot more if I had the option to make the UI that of Photoshop's. It allows me to easily and quickly manipulate the layers, unlike in Illustrator. In illustrator, if I wish to change the opacity of a layer and solely a layer, I've found it to be impossible, since the opacity slider changes the opacity of my brush tool for future use, even if I manipulate its opacity back to 100%. Why is the desktop version of Illustrator so much less user-friendly than the free iOS and Android application versions? The only reason that I'm posting this here instead of just using Photoshop is because Photoshop isn't a vector program, and draws with pixels. The reason I'm not using Illustrator Draw is because it doesn't have all the tools I need to make everything I would like to; I like using my pressure-sensitive Wacom to variate my lines, but am constantly flustered by poor UI decisions and accessibility. For me, and many others like me, I hope you adjust some things accordingly, as it can be frustrating to lose your mind over something as small as changing a layer's opacity, and just that layer's opacity.

Thank you, and with much consideration

I absolutely hate updating Adobe Illustrator. This new Illustrator interface update is infuriating. The workflow that I've developed over years of working with this product is broken. I don't understand how anything works and I spend more energy wrestling with an interface that a just a short while ago was transparent to me than I do in the actual creative work that I am paid for. I'm sure you're proud of your work. I'm sure that you've tested it with naive users (I hope!) maybe even some seasoned users. But recognize that every time you make radical changes to the layout you're hanging a significant portion of your dedicated user base out to dry. Disruptions in my workflow like this make it more reasonable to spend time learning tools like Axure and Sketch that are more powerful, but that I normally keep in the background because I'm quicker with Illustrator. When you take that away you open the door to reevaluation.

If you have been typing in a text area and pan away somewhere else, continuing to type results in the view port being dragged part of the way back to the active text area with the first key stroke and the rest of the way on the second.

Typing into an off-screen text area is almost always a mistake for me and usually results in a text area that is now empty except for a Space, V, T or A character from my most common keyboard shortcuts. I'd prefer if it just registered that I probably didn't want to type into an off-screen text area and took my input as a keyboard shortcut.
