Select CC Library color does not change the current Fill or Stroke color if no object selected
The stroke or fill color does not change when selecting a CC Library color while no object is selected. The workaround is to select an item, or draw and item and keep it selected, then change color in CC Library. The stroke or fill is updated.

Separations Preview Panel has the same layout as Swatch Panel
When using Separations Preview it would be very beneficial to have the colour list arranged in the same order, format and groups as the Swatches Panel.
This could allow grouped colours to be turned on or off in groups and matching the list order would make the whole thing more logical.

Ability to UNDO not only actual changes to objects but also selections
Basically what title says.
Now if you select multiple objects and mess up your selection (accidentally deselect everything, select something that you do not want etc.) you have to select everything all over again (or carefully pick out unwanted objects). And there is no option to undo that.
In applications such as 3ds Max, for example, you can do that — undo history counts in every act of selecting and deselecting, even for individual vertices.17 votes -

Adobe Stock info available in-app
It would be really helpful to have access in-app to complete information for Adobe Stock Assets, especially the content creator, so that I can credit the image properly in my work. Perhaps a re-tool of the info available in the Libraries panel would be the best way, or even an "i" icon over the image next to the purchase icon?

Please make unlinking symbols available via scripting
As a motion designer I often transfer graphics from Illustrator to After Effects using Overlord from battleaxe.co
Unfortunately the developer can not access unlinking symbols via scripting so this process still has to be done with a workaround. Especially with projects that involve a fair mount of symbols (like infographics or UI design) this would be very convenient.
Thank you!

Ability to search Glyphs by name
For Symbol/Icon fonts, it's impossible to find a specific icon you're looking for when there are thousands of unicode icons to sort through one by one. If I want to find headphones or something in the Glyphs panel, right now I can't just type "headphones". I have to search through every single icon and can easily pass by it multiple times.

Add web sockets to ExtendScript Ai Engine
Please add support for sockets into the Illustrator scripting engine. Currently we have to jump through a whole lot of hoops (messaging through bridge) to be able to connect to anything in a script.

Option to disable 'Recent Fonts' feature.
I hate having to scroll from the top of the fonts list every time i'm searching for a new font. Currently, in preferences there is an option for only 1 recent font, however, i'd like to be able to disable this feature completely.

Copy and Paste mesh points into a mesh replacing selected points
I have to make changes to a series or envelope meshes the top section is the same and the bit I need to change so it would be nice to copy the points from one mesh into another by just overlaying the meshes and transferring the points from one to the other

Increment/Decrement Stroke Weight key commands
My kingdom for Increment/Decrement Stroke Weight key commands! These commands could be bound to the [ and ] keys by default since this is how you control brush weight. It would be wonderful if you could set the increment/decrement amounts in Preferences as well!

Drawing custom perspective grids
Most projects don't start in Illustrator or need at least some kind of reference to draw around - for example a product picture or rough sketch. So in most cases Adobe's perspective tool in Ai is absolutely useless. There is simply no way to always find the right perspective in your reference with that tool!
Many professionals draw custom grids with the help of an odd star with very long and thin end points. They draw one, two or three stars depending on how many vanishing points they have. This is a super old and powerful technique of illustrators and…4 votes -

Display all font names in default language
The new Illustrator Adobe Fonts interface displays CJK fonts using their native language name. This is OK for people who are fluent in every language, but may be hard to use depending on who you are. Additionally, the font cannot be searched for using its English name. This is not consistent with InDesign's Adobe Fonts implementation, which still uses all English names.
Please make Illustrator's CJK font display entirely in English, similar to InDesign's, or at least display a searchable English name in brackets.

Notes Feature
Create a notes panel to write notes for yourself, the next person working on your file, the print house, etc.
The notes would pop up first thing when you open a file, and can be printed, amended, deleted etc... they could be print instructions, or time logs, or anything deemed of value to associate with the document.
These notes would travel with the document.

Please let list of scripts displayed in File > Scripts get updated
When I add or make changes to Scripts folder, I have to relaunch AI to make it see changes. How difficult it would be to add an option there to auto-update it, or just to add command 'Update scripts'?

Drag .otf or .ttf file into illustrator and it appears as a lorum ipsum text box on your artboard
Not sure if this is possible but how great would it be if you could drag a .otf or .ttf file (font) into illustrator and it automatically processed as a lorum ipsum text box.
