1. Customizable splash screen

   Adobe marketing team decides what to display as splash screens. Sometimes the choice is great, and sometimes is not, much more often, to some of us.

   And since the Illustrator splash screen is what we see often, and it obviously influence our thought and mood, we’d like to have options to customize it.

   We can access the image ourselves, all of them are stored along with other version for different resolution screens at
   C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2022\Support Files\Contents\Windows\aiccsplash.png (on Windows)
   and packed in the application in Contents\Resources\ (on Macs),
   but this feels like a hack.

   What if we can have:
   A) a loading interface that takes an image provided and updates the resources
   B) an ongoing challenge, where every enthusiast can submit an artwork, using a hashtag or something similar, and the most upvoted gets picked for the next splashscreen
   C) an algorithm that picks an artwork randomly and automatically from the Behance top, each time Ai launches, with customization options, like Windows can do for its desktop wallpapers
   B) an option to turn off the image at all (some prefer CS3 style)

   Creativity for all, right?
   Modding is creativity.

2. Add copy/apply choice to Offset Path

   Most of the time, when using the Object > Path > Offset Path tool, I need to replace the original path, rather than add an offset copy of it. Currently, this requires me to offset the path (often multiple at once) and then delete the existing paths.

   It would be much easier if Offset Path offered the same choice of "OK"(Apply and replace original path) and "Copy" as the transform tools.

3. export for screens, select: none

   When I 'Export for Screens' and have loads of artboards I can select 'All' as a checkbox.
   It would be good to be able to select none - instead of clicking the dozen or more select boxes to un-select artboards.
   This would save heaps of time - its annoying not to have it.

4. Make Keyboard Shortcuts and Action panel both see shared conflicts

   You can assign F-keys to panels in Keyboard Shortcuts.
   You can assign F-keys to actions in Actions.
   But they know nothing about each other.

   When you try assign a combination that is already taken by another command, Keyboard Shortcuts window will warn you and give ways to solve the conflict... but not if the F-key-combination is taken by an action — it knows nothing about actions.

   Same with Actions panel — it knows nothing about Keyboard Shortcuts and never warns you, if you try to set, say, Shift+F8, which will disable native Transform panel call.

   Please let these two work in the same database and know about each other and warn users.

   Also, please vote for these related requests:

5. Different Customizable Shape Gradient Constraints

   Much like the flexibility of the radial gradient feature, it would be incredibly helpful to have a similar tool to make gradients, but one that does not constrain you to a circle or ellipse. Yes, AI provides the freeform gradient tool and the gradient mesh tool, but these are often a little finicky and time consuming to use. One can also use the blend tool to attempt a freeform gradient. All of these are far too complicated for creating such simple gradients. I propose that a customizable shape gradient tool is implemented. Like the other gradient tools, one would create the shape, then apply the gradient fill. However, for each gradient stop, you could create and move a dotted gradient boundary. The color would radiate from the first custom shaped stop to a custom shaped second stop. Here is an example of what I mean: (please excuse the rushed illustration)

7. Allow docked tool panels to stack one under another

   For now a docked tool panel takes the whole column, not matter how short it is. It forces us to clump all custom tools in one panel. Normal panels can stack any way possible.
   Please, give us the possibility to dock tool panels in rows too.

8. Add DXF/DWG Export To Increased Canvas Size In Illustrator 24.2 (and later)

   Would it be possible to add DXF/DWG as an export option for the new expanded max canvas size (Illustrator, 24.2 and forward). The increased canvas size is wonderful, however as someone who will move to-scale sketches from Illustrator into a 3D modeling program, not having DXF/DWG exports at the new max size makes the use of the new canvas size somewhat limited.

9. Cluster / group small increment edits like nudging as one "move" in History to undo

   In Photoshop, when a user nudges an object by holding down an arrow key for an interval of time, PS clusters that series of nudges as one "move". Then the user can undo all of the nudges at once with one "Undo move" command in the History panel. Since Illy doesn't have a History panel (and why is there no History panel? Don't like it, don't use it.), it's impossible to undo all of the nudges with one "Undo". Please make Illy treat nudges like PS does.

10. Escape key should deselect any selected object

    This would be extremely useful when you are zoomed in and a lot of objects are filled in your screen and there's no empty space around to click if you ever wanna deselect an object. Please map the escape key so that it deselects any selected object.

11. 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)

12. Keyboard shortcut for Relink (Link palette)

    One of the features I use very heavily is the Relink button in the Link palette. It has major advantages over the Place function:

    1) it automatically replaces selected linked images (Place requires you to check the Replace checkbox, which becomes unchecked once you do any other Place that isn't a replace)

    But most importantly,
    2) It allows you to relink multiple linked images (replacing them in order from topmost to bottommost).

    Since there is literally no other way to replace multiple linked images in a single action (Place grays out the Replace checkbox if you have more than one linked image selected), clicking that tiny little chain in the Link palette is the only way to do this. That means you have to have the link palette open in order to access this feature. While I use the Link palette for all sorts of things, unless I'm replacing linked images (or checking their attributes), I usually have it collapsed or hidden by other palettes.

    So the current workflow is (1) select the objects to relink, (2) open/show the Links palette, (3) click the tiny little chain icon. When doing lots of relinking, this is tiring.

    A keyboard command that would activate this functionality would be a huge timesaver for anyone who is using Illustrator's otherwise excellent aggregation functionality.

    Thank you for your consideration!

13. Cut, trim or divide open paths (lines)

    Option to cut, trim or divide open paths (lines).
    For example if "Divide objects below" worked on open paths as well.
    Or if the Knife could cut open paths, and cut straight as well.

    In attached example, I would have liked to cut my lines with the circle. Instead, I had to cut every single line individually in the intersection, locking the circle and using the Outline View.

    Creating interesting designs, we have just as much need for trimming/cutting lines as filled objects.

14. I'd love for the pathfinder to be able to cut up bitmaps, avoiding having so many extraneous paths in a complex file

    It would be nice if I could embed a jpeg or some other graphic format and then be able to use the pathfinder tools to change the shape of the image. Seems doable as the graphic imports as a path that happens to be filled with pixels rather than a color or pattern. The main reason I'd rather use the pathfinder for this over a clipping path is to reduce the number of paths in a complex document. When there are many elements in a file, having a lot of clipping paths makes the structure of the file difficult to parse due to the use of paths that have no stroke or fill.

15. When outlining dotted lines with "aligns dashes", unnecessary anchor points are generated

    When dotted lines with “Aligns dashes to corners and path ends, adjusting lengths to fit” are outlined , unnecessary anchor points are generated in the circles at both ends.

    When performing detailed processing to create artwork, I sometimes outline dashed lines. So, unnecessary anchor points are an obstacle in such processing.
    Although there are workarounds, I hope that users will get clean outline results without any ingenuity.

    Workaround:
    (A)
    1.Double-click anywhere in the stroke with Width tool to add a new width point.
    2.Execute “Expand Appearance” , “Outline Strokes” or “Flatten Transparency”.

    (B)
    1.Drawing strokes in accurately calculated length with “Keep exact dash and gap length” .
    2.Execute “Outline Strokes” or “Flatten Transparency”.

    ---Japanese Translate---

    「コーナーやパス先端に破線の先端を整列」を有効にした丸い破線をアウトライン化すると、両端の丸に不要なアンカーポイントが生成されてしまいます。
    細かな処理を行うために破線のアウトライン化をする際、不要なアンカーポイントは作業の妨げになります。
    回避策はありますが、ユーザー側が工夫をしなくてもきれいなアウトライン結果が得られるようにするべきです。

    回避策：
    （A）
    1.「線幅ツール」でストロークのどこかをダブルクリックし、新しい線幅ポイントを追加する。
    2.「アピアランスを分割」、線をアウトライン」または「透明部分を分割・統合」を実行する。

19. Customizable "MOJIKUMI (Typesetting)" as same as InDesign.

    In the case of Japanese, arranging characters beautifully is directly related to the readability of the text, so typesetting is regarded as important.
    Japanese typesetting is delicate and very difficult.
    I would like an equivalent type engine for InDesign.
    A common UI with InDesign is desirable.

    (Translated to Japanese)
    文字組設定をInDesign並みにカスタムできるようにしてほしい。
    日本語の場合、美しく文字を並べることが、テキストの読みやすさに直結するので、文字組みは重要視されます。
    日本語の文字組みは繊細でとても難しいです。

20. Set export options to default to the same folder the native is housed in

    Set default export or save as locations to start in the same folder as the native Ai file as opposed to previous locations. It can be rather cumbersome when switching to an entirely new project, then exporting that project and having the 'save as' default to the entirely other project's recent save.
