An error occurred while saving the comment Agree, it makes little sense. The most stupid is that Ai does not even tell you nothing happens, no 'forbidden' cursor, no error sound, nothing...
And I can’t see how this is 'intended' :/ -

An error occurred while saving the comment Evan, do you still have the problem?
Can you try to reproduce it?
It seems like you had some small object far away on the left, so the Navigator had to include it — but it’s hard to tell now, after a year...
Please reply back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jessia, what happens if you use a rectangle with no-fill and no-stroke as a guide dummy instead of a transparent rectangle?
I believe it should work as well as a transparent one. The way to define bounds with a no-fill-no-stroke rectangle is actually a required procedure in patterns and brushes, so I bet it was intended here as well.
As for the drop coordinates — yeah, this inconsistency is meh, I agree. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Bo, can you please record a short video of the way the tool is misbehaving?
Like what you do, what it does, and what actually you want to create and expect?
It will help the team to understand it fully. I have meh-s of my own, but I can really appreciate your approach on it — if you still struggling with it. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jan, I can’t delete a path from a type-on-path object using the Groups Selection tool (this is what Alt for Direct Selection tool enables), in CS6, which is a 'previous version' — the same warning with an error is given. Do you mean some earlier version? or another, specific one, in case this ability appeared later and vanished after?
Although, it does not really differ if I try to group the type-on-path or leave it as it is, but you specifically mention a group...
Can you please provide some more details on this? Perhaps you still have an access to the version that is able to do that and can record a demo, or give the specific exact steps? Please help to understand this. As far as I remember, it was never possible to convert a type-on-path into just a type, therefore this script exists: https://kelsocartography.com/scripts/scripts/nvkelso/DetachTextFromPath.jsx -

An error occurred while saving the comment But they do work in other apps, don’t they?
An error occurred while saving the comment You mean when you want to move an object? Or when you try to move a cursor while editing a text? Or both?
If the first one only — can you please the Keyboard Increment value in Preferences > General? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I see. Indeed, cycling through all possible blending modes is not a handy solution, even if you are using prepared array of objects with all modes.
Just to clarify: Select > Same > Blending Mode works with any opacity value (just checked).
However, it won’t select an art if a blending mode is applied to an attribute (actually it will, but only for the same attributes).
Anyway, it’s a hassle!There is a free plugin, Select Menu, which allows to select a lot of stuff, including objects wit opacity masks...
https://rj-graffix.com/downloads/plugins/#selectmenu
...but it can’t select objects with any blending mode in any attribute though.
Perhaps you ask a developer to add these — he is faster than Adobe for sure! :)Still, it’s a valid request to have Art with Blending Modes and Art with Transparency into Select > Object menu, and in the Filter menu as well. Voted.
An error occurred while saving the comment JF, please tell more about a workflow that you want to use it for.
Do you mean something as 'Transparent objects'? Because you can’t expect this menu to have all the possible blend modes to choose form and all possible transparency values, right?
And to select those specific you need, Ai already have Select > Same > Opacity and Blending Mode commands — do you know about these? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Lev, do you mean to 'clip' (which can be done with a linked image) or to actually 'crop' (which will have to embed the image to trim it)?
First one is possible with scripts. Here is one you can try: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/script-for-applying-an-artboard-sized-clipping-mask-to-selection/td-p/12823127
The second one... Well, there is a request for a functions to crop clipped embedded images to the bounds of the clipping mask: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/35456389-convert-a-clipping-mask-into-a-crop
...and some solutions exist. So it is possible to use two script for this, wrapped into one action, for example.
I am not saying the request is not valid, though. Voted. -

Disabling 'Paste Remembers Layers' in the Layers panel’s flyout menu solved the problem with pasting in place into a selected layer, therefore a specialized hotkey to the layer isolation is no longer required for the user.
If you still need this hotkey — please comment.
An error occurred while saving the comment Glad it got solved for you!
You can read more about this function here: https://helpx.adobe.com/si/illustrator/using/moving-aligning-distributing-objects.html (search for 'Paste Remembers Layers'). Here is the excerpt:
By default, Paste Remembers Layers is off, and artwork is pasted into whichever layer is active in the Layers panel. When Paste Remembers Layers is on, artwork is pasted into the layer from which it was copied, regardless of which layer is active in the Layers panel.So I am closing this as Resolved then, since isolating a layer now is not required :)
However, a hotkey for this command is something we need still... but this is another story.An error occurred while saving the comment Kristin, can you check please if you have 'Paste Remembers Layers' enabled in the Layers panel’s flyout menu?
If yes — does it change the behavior with Paste in Place if you disable it?An error occurred while saving the comment So I found a report about this, with 4 votes at the moment, and added some details for it to get more relevant in search results for those who can try to report something like this again:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/36922342
Please upvote it!An error occurred while saving the comment Kristin, no worries. I understand exactly how you feel, this mix of 'oh, Ai is so cool' and 'WTF?!' — this is my normal state and that’s why I am here :)
So, I asked several folks to test this: copy an object form a layer at the bottom, select a layer at the top and paste in place.
Results are split: 80% have it placed in the selected layer, 20% — in the original. One of those users who has it like you do definitely uses 27.6.1, and I don’t know what othered have yet, but I believe 27.X as well. Windows and Mac mixed.
More results coming soon.I also run tests myself (I am a Windows user)), with older versions: CS4 and earlier do not have the command, but CS6 pastes into the selected layer...
Therefore I assume it is a bug. Will update more.
However, a question — if we find out it IS a bug and get the team to get it fixed — would you still need an 'Isolate Layer' hotkey?
(and by 'we', I mean us, users, since I am not an official part of the dev team)An error occurred while saving the comment Kristin, this is strange.
Let me ask this, just to be sure:
when you copy the objects on Layer 1, then select the Layer 2 and use Paste in Place command — do you get your objects pasted into Layer 1 still, despite you have Layer 2 highlighted in Layers?
This is NOT how Ai behaves for me (I checked three latest versions). I know Paste in Front behaves like this, but not Paste in place...Enter Isolation Mode command (which indeed can’t be assigned to a hotkey and works with the selection IN Layers only) is a workaround for this, but I think the problem with Paste in Place is just a bug :/
Let me test it more.An error occurred while saving the comment Kristin, Illustrator allows to assign a hotkey to this command already.
Open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + K).
Switch to Menu Command from Tools in the dropdown list.
In the search field type 'isolate' — Illustrator will filter the list of available commands below to just one position, Isolate Selected Object in the Other Object section (or you can just scroll the list to the very bottom).
Assign the hotkey you need (I am used to having it on Ctrl+>).Also you might want to vote for having a hotkey for Isolate One Level Back — which Ai does not allow to have a hotkey for: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/32403778-make-a-hotkey-to-go-one-level-up-in-isolation-mode
But I want to know a bit more about the behavior you talk about, the pasting at the top of the level.
I know about this, and the isolation trick is something I use too to mitigate this when I need to create one or more new shapes directly above a certain object. But you say there was a time Ai used to do it differently? Like draw new stuff directly above the selected object? Like the way Affinity Designer does now?Because there is a request to have a 'Draw above / in front' method: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45005431--draw-in-front-button
...and I don’t recall Ai having it like this ever — just rechecked older versions.But I think you refer to pasting specifically. I rechecked this too, in the latest version — Ai still pastes directly above the selected object, if you use Paste in Front command, just like it used to do. Can you recheck this too?

An error occurred while saving the comment It feels like some modal dialog pops and stays somewhere opened and steal the focus, and it prevents Ai from doing anything in the back... or it only looks like it.
Can you use arrow keys to move stuff? Can you create anything new? Can you click tool buttons? Does the relaunch help? How often does it happen?
Please add more details, ideally — steps to reproduce this. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Nikki, the team would require one of these TIFs to study to get it fixed.
Please share one, here (if you can publicly share it), or privately, via sharewithai@adobe.com (mention the link to this report then so it can be tracked — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46938196)
I suspect there is some minor error in the file which prevent Illustrator to import it. It happened before with other formats. So — the file! Nothing can be done without it. -

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

An error occurred while saving the comment Also, I really wish for it to be visually consistent with existing panels, like this GIF demonstrates (now VS proposed).
Sure, the Filter button can be pressed and will have some padding I didn’t include, but you get the idea.AdminEgor Chistyakov

Hi Everyone,
This functionality is available in our latest release build – 27.6.1.
The new functionality allows searching layers by name using the searchbar in the layers panel. The users can also apply filters based on layer properties (locked, hidden etc) or objects properties (effects, text etc.). This will help to quickly find layers/objects for large documents (having multiple layers).
Read more about this - https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/whats-new/2023-5.html#search-and-filter
Thank you for all the feedback.

@Konstantin H. and @Deb Schroeder — I already added you.An error occurred while saving the comment 1. Full text search by name
2. Replace text (with an option wot work with selection objects only) — this is hard since we have two ways of selecting objects, on canvas and in Layers, and there is still no a good way to covert one selection into another — you might want to look at it now
3. A way to apply any several filters at the same time, unlike Photoshop which allows to apply only some.
4. A way to save, load and manage filter options — in a modern way, and not like you treat workspace, tools presets, and especially poor Views and Selections — these have to get improved too.
5. Take a look at options provided with various external tools — FindReplace Art plugin by Astute Graphics, Select Menu plugin by RJ Graffix, NitPicker plugin by Hot Door, a way Corel Draw manages search options. It’s also a good time to review native Select commands.
6. Take a look at various scripts which try to patch the hole, especially at RenameItems (https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Item.md#renameitems) by Sergey Osokin, and other scripts on the same page.
7. As Oleg says, see how Figma does it and see what plugins does their community create, like this one: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1034178978552865811
8. Don’t forget these need their own hotkeys, available APIs, be open to scripts and actions.
9. Think about a proper integration with everything AI has on board now, especially Global Edit, Show/Hide, Select command.
Since it’s a major change, we really expect to get a way to test it earlier to see if it all works at all before you push it into the release.AdminEgor Chistyakov

This is even more fun that this.
If you have something selected, typing in 100% in the Zoom Level field (which is the only one element in the bottom row to not have a tooltip, BTW) will result into re-centering the view to this selection — while double-clicking the Zoom tool icon does not move the view.
So we have THREE ways to change the view: to center to the selection, to center to the artboard, to no center to anything... but only one can be called with a hotkey (which a lot of user prefer).
We need all three as menu commands we can assign hotkeys to.
