The ability to design in ONLY whole number
The ability to design in ONLY whole number, giving us a checkbox to disallow decimal values for size & transform.
I spend much time correcting the decimal values that pop up randomly while designing and it is rather frustrating. It would be great to have a way to allow ONLY whole number values in location & size. See attached. this happens with .5 values as well as things like .812 which make it really tough trying to align!

Make Pen and Scissors tools prioritize editing to a selected path
Am I missing something? can the pen and scissors tool prioritize editing to the selected path? If I'm editing a path behind another path it is often a complete guessing game when I'm trying to edit a selected path if it is anywhere near the top path.
I just don't understand why anybody would find it useful that a selected path would be ignored for another overlapping path when using the pen or scissors tools10 votes -
Ligatures are broken
OpenType ligatures are broken in Illustrator. When the ligatures feature is enabled most ligatures remain different letters. If ligatures are input directly from the glyphs palette they will decompose into different letters. Even if ligatures are disabled they still decompose into different letters when input from the glyphs palette.

Possibility for the USER to set the default units when creating a new document
It saves time. In stead of having to adjust this for every new document, it would be a lot better to let users define their own standards, templates and what so ever…

Select same, with multiple selectable attributes and customisations
When using the Select Same feature we need a lot more options, like all objects with the same transparency effect AND opacity AND tint AND line weight etc, that can be selected from a list of attributes. Same sort of list as the options list for the Eyedropper Tool (see screenshot).
It should be split into sections that allow vectors graphics selections as above, but also things like selecting all linked items that are the same file AND the same size AND rotation AND opacity.
Selecting all text in a certain colour, font, size, style so they can be updated…

Constrain angle setting doesn't work untuitively, and is rather useless
Right now, when the Constrain Angle setting is at its default value of 0°, you can hold down the Shift key to move an object along the 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, (etc) axes. This is fine.
But if you change the constrain angle to something else, say 30° (as someone making isometric illustrations would be likely to do), then the set of constrain angles changes to 30°, 75°, 120°, 165°, etc. This is not useful. It would make much more sense for the set of constrain angles for a setting of 30° to be 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°,…

This option already exists in Illustrator, in Preferences > General, although the name of it is quite obscure — Show/Hide Rulers. Once it’s enabled, each new or opened document will have rulers enabled.

Acceso directo a objetos/texto con rapida configuracion (ejercitos age of empires)
hola! les escribo para dar una breve sugerencia la cual quizás ya fue propuesta por otra persona impaciente igual que yo... Si alguna vez jugaron al age of empires y fueron atacados podrán haberse dado cuenta que si configuraron sus ejércitos con anterioridad podrán defenderse mejor o incluso realizar un ataque mas efectivo. Esto se podría hacer seleccionando primero el objeto/texto y después apretando (control) mas un numero. De esta manera se podría hacer cambios de las distintas profundidades de diseño mas rápido, sin tener que mover todo para los costados si se quisiese cambiar algo el z-index 1.

Never interrupt my work. Never show new features
Never interrupt my work. never show new features.
master switch for a "veteran" mode that will never interrupt you to show you stupid s**t that you already know.the dumbing down of the CC products is disgusting. you're literally driving me to work on different platforms. I've not opened premiere in a year and I'm down to only photoshop and illustrator.
Add enough pain and I'll move off of those as well.Not only that I'll probably start a YT channel for others detailing how to leave he cult of Adobe as a industry pro.

Move close button away from save in File menu
Moving the Close button away from the Save button, maybe to just below Revert
Sounds like a sad fix but having the Save button right below the Close has caused me to lose original works due to accidentally pressing Save instead of close when i don't to save the changes made.
This has happened when my mouse has had a sudden glitch and not moved the .5mm needed to press the correct button. worse when you can't undo due to hitting the maximum number of undos
Not a major issue but anyone that has done this would know the pain…

Illustrator CC 23.0.1 keeps reopening after closing a file
After I close out a file in Illustrator a blank window pops up ready to make another file. Very irritating. If I wanted to start another file I would open it manually. Otherwise I have to close out the new window to do some other task on my computer. How do I make it stop opening back up??Attached is the window that keeps popping up.

Option for Artboards to be non-printing
Would be very useful if there could be a setting in the Artboards palate that could make them 'non-printing' (Like in Layers) - I use a lot of pre-prepared template files and sometimes don't use all Artboards, so to 'turn them off' rather than having to delete (as I may need them later in a job) or keep changing print options would be great.

Rotate angle field
When using 'transform' from the drop down menu, please make the angle field active, as per previous versions. CC2019 requires a swipe with the I beam cursor, it didn't in previous versions!

Please have customized brushes/swatches/&c. save automatically.
It would be nice if custom created brushes were saved automatically so that users do not have to save them after they have created them.
