  1. Please increase the limit for Keyboard Increment

    The Keyboard Increment (aka Cursor Key Distance) is limited to 1296 px.
    But artboards can be much bigger. So please set this limit to eg the half of the maximum artboard size.

  2. 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.

  3. Make iPad AI more compatible with external keyboard

    I have noticed when using a Magic Keyboard with AI on the iPad, that the arrow keys do not function in relation to typing blocks of text. How about the ability to move the curser with the arrow keys? It is fiddly using your finger on the touch screen to place the curser accurately.

  4. Scale Corners when resizing shapes, as you can on desktop

    An option to Scale Corners, Like ‘Scale Strokes and Effects’. You can do this on desktop but seemingly not the iPad

  5. Width tool and Free Transform Tool

    It's super painful to jump on the desktop version every single time, just for small corrections.

  6. Restore anchor point long hold to delete anchor points.

    Previously, when performing a long press with the direct select tool on an anchor point, it would delete that anchor point. Using the "delete anchor point" button on the floating menu is now the only option, but the long press method is just simpler and saves a lot of effort. A nice way to restore this option is to have it as a feature that you can turn on/off in prefrences.

  7. Need more tools and options. Customizable work space.

    Affinity Designer has a better user interface.

  8. Join Tool

    Like on the desktop version of Illustrator, where you can draw overlapping lines, then scrub through them at the intersections to trim them off and simultaneously join them into a single anchor point.
    Something like vector trimming on Fresco, but for anchor points.

  9. Disappointed with Ai performance with simple graphics

    Illustrator was the first software I learned. 1988-1992. Version 4.0? My Mac-daddy Mac Quadra had a 500mb HD and some blazing 128 MB RAM. Illustrator worked well. Cant you dust it off tweak some tools to run well on iPad Pro… Better to run well than frustrate; iPad chipset will catch up. Run the beautiful basics add more as you can. Very disappointed with Ai performance with simple graphics attached waiting to process moves, Mobile Bundle? Not even going to try photoshop. Cancelling in a month. Love to Adobe. Peace

  11. Eraser tool on the iPad should work with Shift and Option/Alt shortcuts (like desktop)

    On the desktop, Shift constrains the eraser to 45º and Option/Alt erases as a marquee.
    Can we please have the same functionality for the iPad? The touch shortcuts don't work with the eraser tool, and neither do the keyboard shortcuts. Thanks!

  12. Enable import of other Illustrator iPad files.

    Import/place does not allow access to existing Illustrator (ipad) files. Argh.

  13. Cropping Layers

    I know that cropping images is not yet a feature either. However, I have been having a horrible time trying to crop a layer so that I can continue designs throughout.
    The only option right now is Transform, which makes the design look very novice.

  16. ability to set repeat distance to specific value

    It would be very helpful to be able to set the repeat distance (space between repeated objects) to a specific value or have the distance snap to the grid when snap to grid is active.

  17. An eyedropper like the desktop that samples swatches, can apply appearances

    If you apply global swatches to your artwork on the iPad, you can't use the eyedropper to accurately sample those colors/swatches to other objects. The eyedropper reads the color, but the formula numbers are slightly off, and it applies this to the object, rather than applying the swatch. Also, when I create a swatch on the iPad using whole numbers, when I open the file on the desktop, the swatch has decimal numbers. You can't type in any decimals on the iPad, and yet they are there on the desktop. Designers need accurate swatch functionality and a better eyedropper on…

  18. Why not make drawing as convenient as in animate

    I really like that in anime you can draw on one layer working with lines and filling as in Photoshop. Why is everything so complicated and mute in the illustrator?

  19. Easily move objects from one layer to another without searching the object in the layer

    Easily move objects from one layer to another without searching the object in the layer: move selected objects from one layer to another via a coloured square beside the layer name like in the desktop version.
    Now you have to select the objects and search for them in the different layers to move them. This is time consuming.

  20. Use touch shortcut + "stack" icon for send to back/send to front

    Surprised I didn't see this suggestion yet! Dragging up/down with the stack icon to rearrange layers can be a pain once you have a bunch of layers, especially when you can accidentally select and move other layers while trying to do it. What about holding the touch shortcut and dragging up or down to send to front or send to back, respectively? It doesn't seem like the touch shortcut currently interacts with the stack icon. It would be a huge timesaver!
