    The most recent version finally has the Object > Distribute menu added.

    Now both Align and Distribute commands can be accessed via menu and have assigned keyboards shortcuts to them.


    The order of the commands though seemingly matches the one the panel has: horizontal first for Align and vertical first for Distribute. If you find this odd and want to change it — vote here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45855823-sync-the-order-of-align-and-distribute-menu-comman


    Also, Align To and Distribute Spacing commands are still missing in top menus, so please keep voting here to make them added too.

    It's really easy in .Ai to set up Keyboard Shortcuts. I'm a Corel user and wanted .Ai to work in a similar way...

    Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts - Menu Commands (Drop down) - Object - Align. You can set up whatever Shortcut you like (as long as it's not already being used elsewhere.

    For Aligning, I use Ctrl L / Ctrl R / Ctrl T / Ctrl B (Left / Right / Top / Bottom)
