1. How much the arrow keys move a selected object around in any direction **w.r.t. the zoom level**

   I think the primary goal of letting us control the object with the arrow keys is so we can be accurate with its placement on the artboard. But this becomes completely useless if the zoom level is very high, in which the arrow keys move the object a big distance. This forces us to use the mouse to get an accurate position for the object.

   What I really need: If we've zoomed in on an artboard, then let the arrow keys move the object a smaller distance than usual so that we can be more accurate with an object's placement with the arrow keys. I think anyone would find this ability useful.

2. Please make link addresses flow in Illustrator's Links palette if the palette is too narrow

   Please make link addresses flow in Illustrator's Links palette so that a placed image whose path is lengthy doesn't force the palette to expand (endlessly) to the right, forcing palettes joined to its right off the screen. It's disruptive to have to resize palettes when an image is placed. Heaven help us when it's an image from Adobe Stock in the Library!

   I've posted this request for at least two or three years now. I can hardly imagine I'm the only one with any distaste for the behavior.

5. Shear / Skew / Slant / Angle Gradient

   Angle Gradient is missing since begging, I know that can be made through the Mesh Tool, but it is not very easy for everyone to make it, there are also other ways to make it but its very difficult. I wrote many basic, essential, and missing features for Illustrator in 2011 in Features Forum web but Adobe has added a few of them, it is very important that every software needs to be filled with basic and essential features, if those are missing then software could not be the best then the rest.

7. One tab-over between Width and Height in New Document window

   In New Document window, I am used to typing a numeric dimension for Width, then pressing tab once to enter a dimension for Height. In the current version, if you press tab after entering Width, it goes to the unit of measurement first instead of to the Height. It feels unintuitive.

8. Add 'Average & Join' to the Object > Path menu

   There is Object > Path > Average, and there is Object > Path > Join. And there is also the very useful Average & Join command... but that's only discoverable if you go digging through the Keyboard Settings and notice it lurking in the 'Other Object' section.

   Please make it easier for novices to discover it, and for experts to point novices to it, by adding Object > Path > Average & Join right below the two menu items it combines.

9. Few Additional Features

   Fill & Stroke Color Picker Dialogue with Single Click.
   Fill and Stroke should bring its Color Picker Dialogue with a Single Click on it, which one is active we would just click and bring its Dialogue.

   Layers Panel.
   Holding or pressing the Control key and clicking on a new layer icon in Photoshop to creates a new layer below all the layers if no layer is selected, if a layer is selected then you do the same action will create a new layer below the selected layer which really makes sense.
   The same thing would be very comfortable in Illustrator if that feature would be added in the Layers and Appearance Panel.

   Right-Click Menu on Objects.
   There should be Global Edit, Copy and Paste are the basic features, common and essential which are missing since the beginning.

   Start Global Edit.
   Start Global Editing feature can be adjusted in the Magic Wand tool's Menu/Dialogue and in the Control Bar, if Properties Panel would be converted into Tool's Properties Panel then it should show the Tool’s (Active’s) Properties there.

10. Allow us to customize/choose features/controls/order in Control panel

    A Feature that can be used by any Tool or Panel which is most common (like Fill & Stroke), that should not be active in the both (Control Bar & Properties Panel )sides at a time.

    When Text Object is selected by Arrows.
    If you have selected Text by using Arrows/Selection Tools, you should have good options in the Right Click's menu, like Spell Checking which is logical according to selection.
    It would be also better if these features will be added in Control Bar by replacing redundant Features Like Fill & Stroke which can be used by Panels and Tool Bar or These Options (Spell Checking) according to selection (Text) should be in the Properties Panel with the properties of current tool selected/Active, (hope Properties Panel would be converted into Tools Properties Panel)

11. More usable Layers panel

    Can we have the Layers panel open like Adobe XD (aids renaming and hiding/locking)?

    I would appreciate if the panel could make it easier to name and select layers. For example, if I have an item in the artboard selected, I don't need to select the little blue dot (see attached photo) for it to register that it's actually selected on the artboard, especially if I'm selecting more than one item. I end up having to hold Shift to select the Layers in the panel, and then clicking again on EVERY blue icon to select the items on the artboard (e.g. for grouping purposes). If this can be changed, I would truly appreciate it — it really helps with renaming and grouping layers!

12. Image Trace results have deteriorated over the years, detail is lost and line work looks terrible!

    I’m a full time illustrator and have been using Adobe Illustrator since the launch of CS - so it’s been years :) I LOVE the app, in fact it’s how I make my living as an illustrator and the app features have contributed to my style development and workflow.

    Which brings me to the feedback I’d like to give regarding the Image Trace tool. My illustration style is a mixture of hand crafted, grungy texture and flat colour. I achieve this by creating pencil on paper line work, scanning then I image trace in Adobe Illustrator to vectorize. BUT, I try and retain the hand sketched pencil look as much as possible when converting, this is very important to my overall look and style as an illustrator and it’s one of the reasons clients and customers buy from me.

    What’s concerning me is over the years the Image Trace results and settings have changed to the point where I’ve struggling to retain the grungy details of my sketches. With each update to Adobe Illustrator, it seems that Image Trace is “smoothing” out the results more and more, despite the settings.

    It’s become so “bad” (I say bad because it’s bad for my style of work, but obviously it’s not “bad” if you want a smoother trace) that I’m forced to use an older version of Adobe Illustrator to do all my Image Tracing - I have to run an older OS on my laptop in order to keep CS5 going.

    I’ve included results from CS5 tracing and the latest CC version. You’ll notice how Adobe Illustrator has picked up all the lovely grungy details in CS5 tracing and lost a lot in the CC version despite the settings set to the max to pick up the noise and detail.

    I’d love the team at Adobe to really consider users who need to trace work of this nature and allow more detail when tracing, like the older versions of Adobe Illustrator did. I’m truly concerned that I will need to change my style and workflow as the tool I use is not what it use to be and the results are just not up to scratch for my style of work.

    Would this be something Adobe would consider going forward?

    This method and style of illustration is on the increase and many Adobe Illustrator users are looking to make their vectors look more hand drawn. I just thought it was important to let you know from a longtime user that this feature seems to be declining in it’s ability.

    Thank you for reading and your consideration.

14. Ellipse Tool Properties/Dialogue

    Ellipse Tool, if make an ellipse then you have a little squire pointing to make ellipse’s End Angle and Pie Angle, but you do not have these feature available in its properties/Dialogue/Menu when you just select Ellipse Tool and you clip on the canvas or on Art Board you have no control features for that and you also do have the same features in Control Bar and Useless Properties Panel. I hope in the future version there must be added a dialogue for proper setting and measurements like retangle tool.

    The size of handles can be changed in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display, using the Size slider.

    As for the selection tolerance for these — the problem with it is known and reported in a separate bug report: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/20358952-selection-tolerance-for-selecting-handles

18. Measurements are not working correctly

    If you want to make a new path with 100mm x 100 mm in dimensions and and do that via the transform palette then the path shows an incorrect size (100,013 mm x 100,009 mm) but only if the path has an outline. If there is just a colour filling then the measurement is correct.
    That should be corrected quickly.

    There's an option 'Used Preview Bounds' for that in Preferences, which toggles the behavior. When it’s on, Illustrator includes stroke weight into dimensions, and does not when it’s off.

19. Keep guides and elements in new document profile

    I know we can create new document profiles with custom size and custom swatches and use the profiles to quickly create new new custom documents with repeating specs.

    However either I am doing something wrong or I've missed something, but the guides don't get saved along the artboard size and swatches. Surely keeping the guides should be possible within the same technology? Would love to see this improvement.

    I have searched everywhere for a solution to always having to open an illustrator template file as a workaround.

    Thanks :)

20. Blend Tool Default Settings

    I use the blend tool primarily to create specified steps between objects. The tool always defaults to smooth color spacing. It would be great to be able to set a default spacing mode. In fact, it would be even better if the properties panel showed blend tool options.
