All Adobe applications are quite complex beasts, and what all the tools do and particularly what holding different modifiers or keys do can be quite arcane.

I imagine a panel you can have open on the side, and it will show information and the modifier options for the currently active tool.

For instance for the Star tool, it can say what Shift, Option and Command keys do, and that you can press Arrow Up and Arrow Down to increase the number of points as you drag.

Pro users can keep the panel closed, but it can really help new users who want to discover the full power of the tools.

Thanks, Adobe for providing students free access to software to those Universities who use your product in the labs. This was a lifesaver for the students and demonstrates Adobe's commitment to education. We are in the process of setting up safety measures for fall in efforts to curtail spreading the coronavirus, which includes splitting the class size for social distancing, some students may work from home. This would require the students to have access to the software. I teach a software course (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) which includes Studio Arts Ceramics/Wood/Sculpture, etc students who will not need access to the software after the Fall semester. Your student plan is a $19.99 yearly contract. Would you please consider providing an affordable 15-week semester student contract? This would remedy the problem of students not having the software, and avoid paying a yearly contract for something they can't afford or need. So many businesses are being affected by this coronavirus...it would be a humble gesture to continue to show your support to the students. This sincere gesture from Adobe will tremendously help assist students learning experience as we continue to work through this pandemic.

Please create hands-on tutorials INSIDE the application. There used to be FUN AND INTERACTIVE Tutorials in ALL the Adobe application (such as make an icon).

It really helped me learn illustrator quickly and effectively as I did the work. I was able to follow the instructions and actually remember them. It was a fantastic idea. what happened?
Now I have to watch boring videos on the Adobe website that teach me nothing as they are not interactive and listening to the guy is so boring I hate it. Also switching from the website to the Adobe application to try the tutorials is such a pain. Or I have to split the screen and then I can bearly see the video or what I’m doing. PLEASE BRING BACK THE INTERACTIVE HANDS-ON TUTORIALS !!! (This is not User-Friendly)

This feedback/bug reporting systems is super confusing. I have given up on reporting bugs or providing feedback so many times, cause I land here and I can't manage.
I want to report a bug, it tells me to "post my idea". But I want to report a bug, not give an idea! I change sections to make sure I'm on the Bugs, still get "ideas" everywhere. If I try to give feedback I get "request feature", again, not what I want to do... That search box that changes to a form and back to a search box... If I want to write a "new something", let me, and tell me I'm doing it.
I got to the point of waiting for the search to become a form and start writing in the description, so it wouldn't turn into a search box again as I write the title (yes, I checked the posts, they don't show my issue, so let me write?).
I can never tell if I'm in the right place.
I give up cause I'm working and have little time, and is not easy, not fast to send my feedback. Improve this please.

As you may be aware, Illustrator has a natively build CSV-import feature for variables now. This wouldn't have come if Vasily didn't undertake the effort to create this feature as a script, 3 years prior. https://github.com/Silly-V/Adobe-Illustrator/blob/master/Variable Importer/VariableImporter.jsx

His contribution was:
1. User research, connecting with users from all over the world to get a sense of whether anyone even wants to import CSV files and use graph variables.
2. Naming convention syntax for visibility and graph variables.
3. Logical mechanism for adding individual graph states within CSV record cells.
4. A multitude of LinkedIn articles (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/import-csv-txt-files-adobe-illustrator-datasets-vasily-hall/) on variable data usage.
5. A collaboration with a video author to produce the Lynda.com tutorial on variable data (https://www.lynda.com/Illustrator-tutorials/Adobe-Illustrator-Variable-Data/450909-2.html).
6. Discovering bugs within the native variable data feature.

Over a 3-year and ongoing timespan, the amount of effort is not insignificant, therefore my feature request is to add just a few pixel's worth of data to an Illustrator build, in form of the name "Vasily Hall".

Would it put tremendous budget strain on the company to add this name to the credits? It would seem to be a very small cost to bring some sense of integrity back to the software and corporate handling of its development.

I would sure appreciate it, and anyone who cares to help advocate for my simple cause.
