'remember last stroke' and 'new art has basic appearance'
Adobe you really should and need to bring some of the finer settings across from the desktop if you are serious about these being PRODUCTIVE tools and not just permanent pre-release beta tests rented under the subscription narrative.
No-one wants to move BACKWARDS either feature OR PRODUCTIVE-wise.
Desktop Illustrator has a SIMPLE setting to either REMEMBER the last selected stroke setting OR allows for 'new art has basic appearance' which could easily be implemented on the ipad version with a check-box in a preference setting.
Without this simple setting my productivity is completely broken and now far more convoluted requiring…

Morph iPad Cursor
We need the cursor on iPad to morph into a more fine shape in some instances, like over anchor points, curve points, and even transform boxes. It’s currently difficult to precisely manipulate some objects with the oversized circle cursor. This would improve trackpad or mouse input greatly.

Illustrator for iPad - allow me to move common actions bar.
I’m going through one of the tutorials and I can’t rotate an object because the common actions bar is blocking the rotation node and there is no way for me to move it out of the way.

Move the undo button from near split screen button
Move the undo and redo buttons when holding the iPad in portrait mode. Currently on the iPad mini (2021) the split screen 3 dots are overlapping the undo button. Which means I either have to turn my iPad to landscape or use the Apple Pencil and be very precise to click the left most part of the undo button in order for it to undo

Make ESC Key = CMD + Return
There is not a physical Escape (ESC) key on the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard.
On PC, I’m used to hitting CTRL+Enter to exit an active text object.Could we please make CMD+Return on the iPad exit an active text field?
Currently that Keyboard Shortcut is ESC. Which doesn’t exist. And the Apple version CMD+. Doesn’t work either. CMD+Return would be the most familiar and fluid option.4 votes -
Save Confirmation
I have problem when i accidentally touch the back button, the canvas is automatically saved at the current progress, when we access the canvas again, changed progress we did before cannot be undo. My suggestion please make save confirmation, so we can cancel the back action when we accidentally press it, just like desktop version of AI. Thank you

Highlight selected layer’s object
When select a path on the canvas, it doesn’t highlights the layer it is contained on the layers palette. It’s impossible find it in the context when you work with hundreds of paths. Also, please, make it in a bold color… not a slightly hue. It’s not about minimalistic UI, but about usability and efficiency.

The app settings button is a button within a button. Fix it.
So theres an issue with the app settings button in the navigation bar. Its the gear icon button. It is a button within a button. This is called bad design and we need to fix it. Its bad design because I have to click a button to get to the app settings and then I have to click another button to get to the app settings when the first button should have gotten me to the app settings but it didn’t.
If I click on the gear icon, which is my app settings button, I am given a pop up…

Hiding Properties Panel
When I’m working with text with the Properties panel open, and then make the text live to edit - the Properties panel hides automatically. So, if I’m trying to select letters or words specifically to edit, I have to reopen the Properties panel. It of course reappears after closing the live text edit. I think I’d like the panel to stay up, or perhaps reappear after making a single letter or word selection.

still show the layers as white being blank when using dark theme interface
When using the light theme, if you look at the layer, blank space for the thumbnail of that layer is seen as white. However, if you use the dark theme interface, it somehow makes the blank space of the thumbnail layer block, which makes it very difficult to see what’s on that layer.
So, I’d really appreciate it if you could make it so that when I’m using the dark theme for the user interface, the blank space of a layer thumbnail is still white.

Customise toolbar
I use brush tool and pencil tool A LOT. Swap between them is a pain since they are both subtools under the same button. Having the ability to split them will make my life SO MUCH EASIER.

The Zoom Indicator should not be in decimals
I dont know whats going on but the zoom indicator at the top of the UI that displays the zoom percentage should not be in decimals. I dont know why its like that. Nobody works that way. Nobody says, " Oh, i need to be zoomed in at 156.73%." Nobody says that. Just make it 156% or 157%. Dont add decimals. Remove them. This is an easy fix. This is not a feature request. This is a design issue. Please fix it.

zoom out with 2 fingers optional please
understandable that some users like the zoom out gesture with 2 fingers
for all other users - perhaps many - who find it very frustrating and unnecessary, can we please have this gesture as an option?
on average working 3h with iPad illustrator, even though I very much carefully avoid this gesture, at least 10-20 times in 3h, by total mistake I end up undoing the accidental zoom out, meaning having to zoom in and zoom in and zoom in then pan and pan and pan until I am again where I was before the accidental zoom out
this request…
