  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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?

  4. 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!

  12. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Did Adobe really made this? It feels like a knockoff app.

    Illustrator iPad feels like one of those ‘free lite versions’ you can download before purchasing a full version.

    Limited EVERYTHING, buggy, likes to quit on you half the time, and they charge you money for it.

  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…

  20. Expand (convert to paths) mirrored artwork

    Please add convert to path for mirrored drawings. After making sure the drawin is perfectly mirrored we don’t need the invisible part. For creators lile me that need to create a cutting outline for stickers it‘s really time consuming to outline mirrored drawings
