please add extended wordcount
I need to count the number of words in a complicated diagram with a lot of text boxes.
Grant proposals require a maximum number of words and they also count the number of words in graphs and illustrations. So please just tell me how many words are in a document so I don't have to select and copy paste hundreds of words out of textboxes into a wordcounter (or Indesign). That would be great in the future. This is tw also not possible in Indesign because you need to select the text to get a count, whereas I need to…

Hybrid Outline View
It would be useful to have a hybrid outline view that combines both Preview and Outline modes. This would be useful in manipulating objects that are hard to see or have no color (for example bounding boxes without a fill or stroke) without needing to switch views.

Yo can change global units in Preferences > Units with no document open.

Object > Path > Clean Up - change back to notification
Clean up used to tell you how many things it cleaned up (I believe?)
Now it says if it was unnecessary, but if it does clean up, doesn't say how many things it fixed. This was quite satisfying to know and also can help problem solve/clue to where the cleaned points were. If you are dealing with similar art files on a regular basis this could be useful information.1 vote -
False translation in preferences window
In preferences window's unit section the "type" text is translated wrong.
Type must be translated as "yazı" or "yazım" as in the top menu.The text "tür" must be corrected as "yazı" or "yazım".

Allow Color Coding for windows and tabs
I appreciate the many ways Adobe has updated the workspace in Illustrator to be as efficient as possible. However, one thing that I constantly find myself running into is the slight frustration of having to click, or read, or hotkey through the different tabs or windows in order to perform a new function or locate a file.
A project may require many windows in my workspace or I'm working with multiple files I'm having to bounce between.. I'm in a good creative workflow zipping through my project, and then, I find myself having to stop and do a little search…

Stop censoring the term "M.a.g.i.c W.a.n.d" to **********
Trying to search for feature requests related to the ********** tool (M.a.g.i.c. W.a.n.d.), reveals that the Adobe uservoice site is censoring the term. Either your moderators are 12yo boys giggling at obscure euphemisms, or you're so reluctant to alter the functionality of the MW tool that you're purposely obscuring all attempts to garner support for any feature requests.

concentric texture tool
it would be very useful to have concentric textures and not just from a point to a point.
Another request for textures would be to be able to define in some situations the starting point of the plot, the point of arrival and maybe even the point of intersection.1 vote -
Open the color picker with a single click
In Photoshop and XD the color pickers open with a single click. I can't think of any reason why we need to double click in illustrator

Bring back the rounded rectangle, the option under Effect makes a terrible rectangle.
Please bring back the rounded rectangle option, when I make a rounded rectangle under Effect it looks terrible, I can't control the corners of the rectangle as much either and it doesn't rotate well.

Can keyboard shortcuts for Menu commands be possible without the Ctrl/Cmd key?
A lot of the "Tools" shortcut keys that use a single button, I don't use (and probably quite a few other people). People who work with Illustrator most likely use a specific amount of shortcuts, often. Being able to use a single key like F or Y or N to be something more useful like Expand, etc would be great!

I want you to be able to freely set the font color and font of the menu.
Unavailable menu characters are too dark to be distinguished, so I want you to be able to change the colors yourself.

The ability to switch 2 colours around when both are selected
Working on a logo at the moment and was thinking that it could be helpful if there was an 'inverse' option in illustrator, or the ability to switch 2 colours around if you have both objects selected at the same time, e.g. black becomes white and white becomes black. Possibly only possible if you have global colour selected on both colours? Very handy when 'sketching' ideas and quickly need to switch colours.

Multiple Color Assignment - NIGHTMARE
At some point Illustrator added some kind of multiple color assignment where a shape could be assigned a color and then also the group it's in could be assigned a different color or something like this. I just want to say that this "feature" has cost me so much wasted time trying to change the color of an object. It makes the eyedropper not work correctly and making a simple color change become a nightmare because it has it has multiple assignments and it just won't change colors and you have hit "no fill" a bunch of times to clear…
