    The day has come. The latest 30.5.0.102 Beta adds Align To and Distribute Spacing commands into the Object menu.

    These also work in actions, can get hotkeys assigned.

    A shy message gets displayed when Align To mode is toggled to be sure it’s switched, and the Distribute Spacing dialog allows the set the gap value with the Preview option.

    This is a lot, and it now completes the original request.

    Please try, test, comment back, have joy!

    oh my YES! PLEASE ADOBE allow us to be able to assign keyboard shortcuts to the object align command. It feels extremely clunky trying to get anything done in Illustrator vs CorelDraw. Having grown up on Adobe I never thought of it. Got a job using Corel for the past 6 years, hardly ever opening .ai and when I need to it's always a pain doing things because I know it can be done so much faster. Came here looking for answers and saddened there is still no fix to this day.
