Two Inconsistencies: current document name centered in the app header, Duplicate Layer in the context menu
I have always found Adobe apps to be consistent across all of the apps. But I noticed two in consistencies in Illustrator, and they bug me. 1. I'd love to see my file name centered at the top of the application. 2. I'd love to be able to right click in the Layer panel to duplicate a layer.
Of course, let me know if I am over looking something.

Windows start menu tile color bug in windows version 20H2
So after updating my windows version to 20H2 (2009),
I found out both of the PCs have the same problem of the weird background color of the pinned tile.
See the picture to have a better understanding.
I don't know whether this is a windows or adobe's problem.
But it only happens on adobe apps2 votes -
Auto trace for procreate images please and thanks
Please make an auto trace for procreate. It would be a total solid! And it would enable me to get more done and price my work cheaper for my clients.

Embed locked photos + objects (without unlocking them first)
Currently, we must unlock an image before embedding it. An example workflow where this in inconvenient is if I am preparing a doc for sharing and I would like to embed all images in a file for convenience. Or perhaps I have many small linked files that I want to embed for ease, like a complex illustration with many bitmaps.
Currently I do this:
1/I select all images in my links palette.
2/ click embed
3/ receive alert that AI won't embed any locked images. (either I prefer them locked or I locked and forgot)
4/ I unlock all images.…2 votes -

Reflect in Transform window
In the Transform window (Window > Transform), you can resize, rotate, move, shear, but not reflect. How come ? Why not systematically give the user the choice between window commands and menu commands? After all these years?

Illustrator 2020 tarda demasiado en cerrar los archivos
Se tarda hasta 4 segundos en cerrar un archivo ya guardado, suelo abrir 10 archivos al mismo por mi trabajo y es insoportable esperar a que cierren sin poder hacer nada más, en Windows 10.

Image export both type and art optimized
For exporting web banners, my routine is to export one image art optimized and one image type optimized, aftwerwards stack them in Photoshop and unmask the type optimized version where text is visible.
I would appreciate an option of "art and type" that automatically interprets the type as type and the images as images so that I can skip the whole process after the export.

右クリック メニュー
オブジェクトを選択してすぐに、右クリックでメニューを出したくてもでません。数秒空けるか、カーソルを少しズラすか、control+左クリックであればメニューが出るのですが、CS時代の操作方法に慣れているので、オブジェクトを選択して即座に右クリックができる方が断然使いやすいので、改善してください。

Disable default shortcuts
Illustrator has an insane number of available shortcuts all enabled by default. As a casual user of Illustrator, I end up accidentally pressing a random configuration of keys simultaneously, only to then have to spend half an hour figuring out what happened and which keys I need to press to undo my mistake.
Some of the default shortcuts are simply too advanced for casual users and should be disabled by when starting on a new account.

Feedback on Invite to edit Feature (in Beta now)
In our next feature update as part of cloud documents in Illustrator, we bring to you the “Invite to Edit” feature that is intended to help you share and collaborate with others.
What is it?
Collaborate with others with the Invite to Edit feature. Share your cloud document with other collaborators so that they can also edit your document. Find documents that others have shared with you in a new section called “Shared with you” which you can find on the Home Screen. You can also easily take a non-cloud document and convert it into a cloud document in order…2 votes -
Transformations with constrained randomizations
Randomize transformations but constrain them to multiples of set increments, eg 45°, 20° or 2mm, 10mm. Randomize colors. Apply transform to a percentage of objects (or a random percentage). Apply random to each transform individually, eg, rotate, move, not globally as now.

Alternative 'Object width/height' and gap options under Effect > Transform > Move
A couple of checkboxes in that panel for the dynamic size of the object could be handy. A gap value would also be great for the static gaps around multiplied objects. I've experienced 2 similar cases where that option could save me time:
1) Create an object and use 'Effect > Transform' panel to create copies, giving a horizontal or vertical move value. Then edit the object and change its bounding box. They either overlap or the gap between them widens.
2) Create the left half of a graphic you want dynamically be mirrored onto the right side. To use…

Allow tools to be constrained when using Perspective Grid with a key held
I would like perspective grid snapping for either the brush and/or the pen tool.
Although shapes can snap to perspective this is difficult to line up intersections and feels unintuitive to those of us used to lining up a ruler on pencil and paper.
In my mind the snapping would work similar to holding down Shift to snap to 45 degree direction, but instead when you hold down which ever buttons enable the perspective snapping, the drawing tool moves in the perspective direction closest to how you move the cursor.2 votes -
pencil tool - enable keep selection shortcut
A shortcut to enable or disable "keep selection" for the pencil tool. Now it is quite laborious to open each time the tool option window and check "keep selection".

Stretching objects
A stretch function allows to e.g. move a door in a wall. The door is moved, one wall is enlarged and the other wall is shortened. This is done by drawing a box through the walls and around the door, and then by moving the selection. Object that are completely within the selection are moved. Object that cross the selection box are stretched.

Option + Delete to erase whole words
To speed up deleting words, I wish Illustrator has an option to delete whole words using the both delete keys (num keyboard).

More appropriate way of having straight lines and adding arrow head easily
I am an academic and use straight lines and block diagrams for illustrating my methodologies. Although having a rectangle or square is super easy, it is not straightforward to create straight line or arrowhead. Please make sure these features can be used appropriately. Thanks

gestures
Make it so Windows version of Adobe programs are capable of all gestures such as zoom and pan/scroll. This works perfectly fine on my MacBook, but on Windows I'm only able to chose if I can scroll/pan or zoom, but cannot zoom and pan. This makes working with the program extremely difficult and infuriating when it's such a simple feature that works in every other basic program.
I don't understand how this is still an issue when this has been posted on every Adobe forum for several years now. Especially now that you can't just purchase and own the programs,…

The Ability to paste an object precisely where we want it to be in the layers panel
This feature, in particular, will be very time-saving cos I often find myself dragging the pasted object a good distance in the layers panel so that it is where I exactly want it to be.
Currently pasting works such that when we try to paste an object, it gets pasted at the very top of the highlighted/targetted layer. We know that Illustrator already differentiates between "targetting" and "selecting" an object or layer, so that's great. But I'd like to make use of that so as to be more productive and save a lot of time for myself.
I've attached an…
