An error occurred while saving the comment Mike, I asked this even before it got shipped.
Unfortunately, Ai team decided to ignore / postpone implementing that.
Here is the request you can upvote: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44001624-match-arrow-keys-to-view-rotationAlso, as you already know, Astute Graphics offers a nifty workaround for this with its DirectPrefs panel, which allows to sync the Constrain Angle value to the current view rotation angle. Arrows and selection marquee will still work unaffected, but this if better than nothing.
An error occurred while saving the comment There is a native workaround to deal with it and a third-party automated solution.
To force Ai to rotate a coordinate system with the view, you have to go to Preferences > General and edit the Constrain Angle value. Put a negative angle in the field — so, if you rotated the view 37°, put minus 37°. When you do that, hitting arrow keys will result moving the artwork in a proper direction, and new shapes created will be drawn properly.
Unfortunately, the marquee you get when drag with selection tools will stay rotated — this is a separate issue.
An automated solution would be using DirectPrefs plugin from Astute Graphics. Open its preferences (in the panel’s menu and enable Show Constrain Lock option. This will add a small button on the panel. Once you press it, the plugin will automatically sync the rotation angle and the constrain angle.
Take a look at the screenshot.
The plugin is free, once you register.An error occurred while saving the comment Elenit, yes, true, the team is aware of the disconnection you describe and it is under review.
To make most of tools work unrotated when the view is, you need to change Constrain Angle value to be a negative of you current view angle (e.g. minus 15 for 15). So far manually, but it’s going to be automated. If you can’t wait, you can use a similar option in DirectPrefs plugin form AstuteGraphics’ plugins pack — it matches the values for you in background.An error occurred while saving the comment AstuteGraphics plugin pack has a plugin called DirectPrefs, that has Constraint Lock option. Once enabled, it counter-matches the Constrain Angle set in general preferences, giving you the grid that is always orthogonal to a view, which makes arrow keys work orthogonal as well.
Sure it must work from the box.
An error occurred while saving the comment You can move the view with PageUp/PageDown and modifier keys: Ctrl to scroll horizontally instead of vertically, Alt to use smaller steps instead of large. These require two hands (unless you use the right one) though...
As for the view rotation... I’d propose to use Shift (I think it does nothing now but dings). Will it work for you?
Not sure if arrows keys should be modal for that, but that is my preference.
An error occurred while saving the comment It can, but it still can’t do it automatically.
See, it is not the canvas that is rotating, but a 'camera' looking at it, a viewport. The axis is still at 0, and arrows work accordingly.To do what you want, you should copy the angle of the view rotation, open Preferences: General and set the negative of the copied value to the Constrain Angle field. Turn on the grid to see if it 'straight' now.
I am considering this request as 'Allow Ai to counter-sync Constrain Angle with the rotation of the view' :)

Two related requests:

2. Remove Text to Vector from Properties panel — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47638688
Please upvote them, if you agree.

An error occurred while saving the comment Allison, do you mean the section in Properties panel specifically (to hide it), or do you want to completely disable it, even the separate dedicated panel?

An error occurred while saving the comment I can’t say it’s fast on Windows either... Having to wait for it to call a server and fetch the data is stupid, really. It should have the current base cached and indexed, to instantly pop the results and refine them later.

There is a similar recent issue, caused by Pencil hover (https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT211774) support conflict with iPad OS 17.1 and it affects only 12.9 inch (6th Generation) iPad Pro and 11-inch (4th Generation) iPad Pro.
Sometimes this can be resolved by going to Settings > Apple Pencil and turning off Show Effects.
However, please upvote the problem here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931885-illustrator-ipad-bugs/suggestions/47171770-when-using-apple-pencil-it-crashes-on-ipad-os-17
An error occurred while saving the comment The team is working on this, yes.
Hover is definitely useful! It took Apple a while to finally make it possible... However, this specific problem seems to depend on Apple as well, so nothing is clear yet.As for the 'bug logger' — well, this is not a standard situation, thus the complex routine...

An error occurred while saving the comment We have a workaround though — to hold Opt/Alt and drag (and add Shift to lock proportions).
It’s not a final solution, but it definitely helps.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Alex, the team has made some changes into panning and zooming and you can try how it works today, in Illustrator Beta.
The team is intended to improve the multi-threadingperformance, and has announced it here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/20423296-make-illustrator-multi-threaded-on-cpuThank you for talking about it though. We need more cries like this, to make the team hear it and see the difference.
If you can — please send this file to the team for reviewing, at sharewithai@adone.com
Mention the link to this report (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47466008) also. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ismail, which version specifically?
An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, this is something else :/
I’d start with resetting the preferences and the reinstalling it, to see if it helps (it does in many cases).
Does it help to drag-n-drop a file into the app frame / header?An error occurred while saving the comment Something went wrong with your OS file associations.
What happens if you right-click any .ai file, choose 'Open with', then 'Choose another app', then check 'Always choose this app to open .ai files' and locate the Illustrator Beta in the given list? If it is missing in the list, click 'More apps' in the very bottom of it, and then 'Look for another app on this PC', to locate the proper 'Illustrator.exe' in Program Files.
Once '.ai' is associated with Illustrator Beta, it should work fine again to open documents from Explorer and with 'Edit with' in InDesign and Photoshop. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Hm. Again — the whole object (which should work) or just a part of it (which won’t work until you expand the image trace object)?
The former would be a bug, the latter is just a way it works now.
Why would you want to change a blend mode for a part of a live image trace, I wonder? Can you please share a screenshot?An error occurred while saving the comment Do you try to change blend mode for the image trace after expand or before? For the whole object or only a part?
Can you share an short video, please, to show how it behaves for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Arsalan, how does Ai force it?
Can you please demonstrate a short video of this behavior and share a simple test file you can replicate the bug with?
When did it start to happen exactly, which version?
Does it happen only for strokes (since you published the report in Strokes category), or with any art in general? -

This is obviously not fixed and requires further inspection.

An error occurred while saving the comment Well... Illustrator nowadays (since 2011) uses double-precision floating-point format to store coordinates (which IS 64 bit!), but it stores them in points anyway... I suppose some rounding still happens when points get converted to millimeters.
I had this problem long before 2011, but today, when I export my metric architecture-related designs into a 3D software, and scale them up to match the true scale, the small error is there, just like you show, but it’s not that scary like it used to be.
Still the problem exists, but it’s not because of the format, but conversion. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you reproduce this behavior in a new file?
If you can — please share this test file, or the actual file if you have this problem with, if a new fil won’t get this. The team would require any, to start the investigation.
You can share them here publicly, if you are OK with it, or send them to sharewithai@adobe.com instead (put the link to this report then for tracking it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47454587) -
