1. Keyboard shortcut to invoke the search box under the Help menu

   I swear there used to be a keyboard shortcut to do this. Given the relative complexity of Illustrator, I rely on search to locate less frequently performed actions. I currently navigate by mouse up to the Help menu (which automatically gives the Search field focus), where I type in the first few characters of the action I wish to perform (results are refined as I type in more characters); this way, I can simply select the action I want right from the Help menu. It would be great if I could forego the mouse entirely and invoke that Help menu with a keyboard shortcut, but I'm unable to find one (and that search box doesn't show up as an option under Help when I attempt to add a custom shortcut). Any ideas? I'm on a Mac.

   You definitely can assign a hotkey for Discover, using Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, in Menu Commands.

   The problem though it’s named as 'Illustrator Help' there, not 'Discover'. By default it uses F1.

2. Add a default option that lets you choose whether or not edges are shown.

   I print labels and we require proof approval from customers. This means the files I end up using ultimately get opened by at least 3 people. Any number of these people can save the files so that edges are hidden, however, on my end, I always want edges shown so I can better see where they are in relation to the white cut box (FXCUT) that's against the white background. I also maintain our proof templates, which, similarly, ends up being opened by multiple people.

   The idea I propose is that there be a global default setting for each iteration of illustrator on any given account that allows that specific user to have edges shown all the time, none of the time, or on a file by file basis.

3. Motor de texto vertical

   I would like it to be possible to edit the text in vertical format, I explain.

   I have a text in horizontal format which I can modify in every possible way, but I am working on a project that uses a custom typography and requires vertical writing, the problem is that when changing to vertical format the writing direction changes from right to left.

   the idea is that the reader can read from top to bottom, but in the same direction from left to right.

   i have looked for a way to change the orientation of the vertical writing direction but it has not been possible, certainly you can change the alignment and distribution, but not the direction in which it writes.

   this has been translated with google.

4. Change how lock and hide work

   Сan you adjust how hiding layers vs locking layers works?

   Lock should prevent edits of any kind.

   Hide should allow edits if the master group or layer are adjusted.

   Example: Character Animator makes us hide Illustrator layers for various poses, mouths, etc. All the mouths are in a head group. If I move a head group with hidden layers, those layers don't move with the group. They should move. They should just not be seen while doing it because they are not locked.

   If hide works this way, can you explain the difference between lock and hide?

   I find this to be a big oversight.

5. Tracing with machine learning, Sensei, or something similar

   My question is: Is there is any program or chance that the illustrator trace will use less points and be more accurate?
   I love using the illustrator and I love tracing pictures with hand, but sometimes I just don't have the time or the energy to do it manually and the available trace solution is just not 10/10 for die cut lines and sometimes logo recreations (when the customer can send only a 100x100 pixel file, because of reasons).
   If there was a chance you made something that would check, analyse, and learn from my (and other volunteers') manual tracings for the pictures used, i would LOVE to be a contributor.

   The point is to use less points, more accurate curves and don't know what else should be more refined. Maybe the colours?

   So please Illustrator team buy strong machines that could learn this by analysing hand tracing!
   (Don't know how these work. Maybe send out 50 BW pictures and 50 coloured ones to the participants and gather the info?)

   Thank you for your attention! And sorry if I misspelled anything. English is not my native language.

6. Kinda like... 9-slice symbol scaling, more like, locked side scaling

   9-slice symbol scaling works FOR CORNERS. But can you make it so that the TOP, BOTTOM, OR SIDES can stay in place and you can just make the length of an item longer? It's not always about Rounded corners, sometimes it's about an ARCHED TOP or CURVED SIDE, which is static but box needs to grow. This is important to me because I'm in signage and every template we work with can be for example: 6" wide or 8" wide and vary in length or width. So that we do not have to re-draw every shape, or hand extend every box, it would be great if there was a "tool" to keep the template in "easy access" that can be easily modified to length or width without modifying the artistic shape, like arch on top which distorts if you don't grab the points. Consequently, it's also hard to hit an exact 8" measurement when making it bigger by pulling out the points without zooming in, you always get a random 8.023" (perhaps this is another setting I need to adjust but, in one grouped way it works, on this subject, when enlarged, it is better when the numbers are 8" not 8.023". As we are using trying to obtain a yield from a sheet of material.

7. Free Transform Tool - Free Perspective & Free Distort should be there own tools with short cut.

   Free Perspective & Free Distort should be there own tools with shortcuts (or that we can make custom shortcuts for), or a way to quickly filter through by hitting a key to get to the option needed (ie you hit E to bring up free transform, then hit E to select alt options like Free Perspective & Free Distort) having to scroll over to a tiny panel to select which I want to use is time that could be saved. I know the panel floats, but having to open Free Transform then move the panel near what I need, then if I use it later it's now in the way so I have to move it again. It's just a lot of a added hassle. I think it might be better that they are their own tolls like with Shear, Skew, Rotate etc. The holding shift just as with the other tools constrains proportions so that extra click is also probably not needed. To sum I think it would be great if we had a Free Transform, Free Perspective, & Free Distort as individual tools instead of the latter two being only in a panel widget connected to the Free Transform tool. Thank you.

8. Make rendering of 3D happen in background

   Ideally pushing the rendering tasks to a background process would help with using this tool. It's a bit of a pain to have to click and unclick cpu-intensive modes just to make adjustments or wait for 10+ seconds when I could be working on another part of the artwork.

9. Path selection sensitivity in Illustrator

   You've finally made the node & anchor point sizes adjustable - HURRAY! However now when trying to directly select a path, i instead have to click on an area NEAR it but not ON it, so as not to pick up the other nearby paths. Furthermore, instead of being able to click in a blank area and drag my selection tool to pick up the paths Id like, it picks up everything near enough to where I've clicked in that blank space. It NEVER used to do that. Ive tried adjusting all the settings to no avail. its like now the sensitivity of the selection tool is off!?!?! Instead of being able to directly select what Im clicking ON, it'll pickup everything ELSE near it, and NOT the path Im actually trying TO selelct!!!!

   In the 3 examples I've attached (one file) you can clearly see where I've clicked with my cursor and which path it picks up. *Sorry for the moire screen effect, it was the only way I could get a pic of where the cursor was placed as well (screen shot would not pick up the cursor).

10. Bigger / resizable text field for artboard names

    The size of the text input field for the artboard names is often too short - so when I want to change the last bit of an artboard name (often for a modifier like ...white, ...dark etc.), I have to marquee / hit arrow or end key to get there. That makes renaming more complicated than necessary.

11. Make it easier to find the handles needed to move text around a circular shape.

    It's so tough to find just the right place to hover in order to get the handle you need to drag the start/end points of text when placing it on a path, especially a round one. Seems like there's an easier way (maybe holding down a particular key while you click the anchor?)

12. A feature that allows users to customize keyboard shortcuts

    A feature that allows users to customize keyboard shortcuts for specific tools and commands, giving more flexibility for personalized workflow.

    Customizable keyboard shortcuts would enhance productivity by allowing users to streamline their workflow and reduce time spent navigating menus. This would be especially beneficial for users who rely on specific tools frequently.

    Adding a simple interface to assign or modify keyboard shortcuts, and offering a "Save as Default" option, would provide users with more control over their experience, making the tool even more efficient for professional and personal use.

13. Option/Alt + Click to select repeated shape in Pattern Maker and add easier move function

    Often in pattern maker, designers find themselves boggled at how its magic works, and tend to resort to legacy features and clipping masks as a solve for how to make a pattern repeat in this feature. Even when used properly an incorrect overlap may appear that can seem challenging to resolve. I am currently working on a hex repeat, that only shows an overlap when tiled at 5x5 and was a head scratcher to some of the team. In general this is easily solved by selecting and moving the distance of the swatch, but to identify these shapes can be a bit of a task since they're just virtual copies, but if they were selectable with a modifier key, it would make these easier to resolve. Bonus points if a move key is added to move a selection the exact height, width etc. of the tile.

14. Transparent Glass Effect Options in Adobe Illustrator

    Dear Adobe Team,
    I hope you are doing well.
    I would like to request a new feature enhancement for Adobe Illustrator that I believe would greatly benefit designers and streamline creative workflows.
    Feature Request:
    A dedicated Transparent Glass Effect option within Illustrator, offering the ability to apply both plain and textured glass styles directly as an effect.
    Currently, achieving a realistic glass look requires multiple manual steps involving opacity adjustments, gradients, blurs, and overlays. A built-in effect—similar to other appearance presets—would save significant time and allow for more consistent results across projects.
    Why This Would Help:

    Faster creation of modern UI-style and product-render visuals.
    Consistent, professional-quality glass effects without complex layer setups.
    Enhanced creative control through adjustable texture variations.

    This addition would be extremely valuable for designers working in branding, packaging, digital art, and interface design.
    Thank you for considering this request. I truly appreciate the continuous innovation Adobe brings to the creative community.

15. Keyboard Increment per document type

    Under Preferences > General it is possible to set the "keyboard increment" - how far each tap of an arrow key moves the selected art. The problem is, I want this to be different depending on what I'm doing.

    It would suit me ideally if I could set the keyboard increment to 5mm when working on a print document (CMYK/300DPI) and 10px when working on a digital document (RGB/72DPI).

    Everywhere else on Mac OS if I long press the key I get an accent pop up, like this:

    In Illustrator, this never shows up.

    I know there are workarounds (glyphs window, other mac shortcuts and keyboard viewer) but none of those is practical.
    That accent pop up is shown everywhere else in the system except for Illustrator, which is very frustrating

17. Dynamic Connector Symbols

    Connect two objects with a third, dynamic symbol.

    A new class of Symbol that can be assigned properties of Rotate, Extend, Scale etc. and a new class of Group called an Assembly.

    e.g 1. A bullet point and a number in a circle can be connected by a symbol set with the properties of Radial Rotate and Extend, so the when either the bullet or the number are moved the connector symbol adjusts its length to remain anchored to the centre of the other two objects.

    e.g. 2 A graphic is connected to create an Assembly of two or more other objects with properties of Focus Rotate and Scale, so that if any of the other objects are moved it is resized (either proportionally or disproportionally depending on selected options) to fill the space (based on its original size relative to the other objects) and rotated (based on where the densest number of other objects are). So a central arrow graphic would scale if the surrounding target graphics are moved closer or further away, but never beyond the nearest of the surrounding objects, and would point in the direction of the most objects in any direction.

    This would be useful in annotation, plans (engineering, mapping etc.), flow charts and diagrams.

    Symbol properties are set when creating the symbol and connection properties are set when applying to a connected assembly. For example a connection property may be tangential rather than radial so the connector is always angled from the outside edge of one of the parent objects, but the centre of the other.

    Just select several objects and apply “Assemble”. The objects appear unaffected and can all still be moved independently but, once a Connector is dragged on from the symbols palette, they are highlighted, the Connector can be dropped in place and constraints applied. Several Connectors can be applied to one Assembly so a cloud of objects and be connected via several paths which will adjust dynamically if any of the objects are moved later.

18. Simple navigation in the structure of objects.

    Simple navigation in the structure of objects.

    Finishing the code of this great idea would be an exit to a new quality of work and management of objects during creation.

    1. Add a drop-down list to each column in this bar. For example, clicking on layers causes the layer tree to be highlighted in the document stack.
    2. Editing object / layer / group name from this level.
    3. Layer menu in this bar.
    4. Clicking on the first left arrow "Leaving group" simulation of the ESC key operation at this level of work with the object.

    Best Regards!

19. Correct View > Snap to Grid shortcut from Cmd/Ctrl+" to proper Cmd/Ctrl+'

    My request is a bit nerdy, but hey! I have been using Illustrator for 'ages' and one of the shortcuts is simply not correct. I always think it's cute, in a way, but still.
    The shortcut to show or hide the grid is listed as Ctrl + "
    This is impossible to achieve since you need the 'Shift' key to type the double quotation marks :)
    So, I think it should be Ctrl + ' .
    The shortcut to snap to the grid is fun in this light; it's Ctrl + Shift + "
    So, I was wondering if anyone had ever thought 'Wait a minute...'

    Oh, and this also applies to the shortcut for 'Snap To Point', which is listed as Ctrl + Alt + "
    I am very curious!

20. Enhanced Shape Builder Tool

    Something that would be enormously helpful and prevent a lot of unnecessary backtracking would be expanding on the capabilities of the shape builder tool in three key ways, though if any are possible, the first one would be most helpful.

    1. Allow the use of the shapebuilder tool on objects contained in a mask.

    2. Allow the shape builder tool to operate on an object outside of a mask using objects inside a mask

    3. Allow for selective use of shape builder tool on specific objects in a group without ungrouping.
