    Illustrator today has Cut, Copy, Paste and other Paste variants in the context menu.

    However, Lock and Hide are missing still. Please continue voting and commenting if you need these items.

    I just want to be able to open a context menu when right-clicking layers.

  2. Right-click Contextual menu with Layers panel (same as in Photoshop)

    This is quite ridiculous. Every program I've used supports ight click menu's on pretty much anything. Even in Illustrator you can right click on almost everything... except Layers... WHY?!

    I genuinely want an explanation as to why this menu doesn't exist in Illustrator. It's such a simple thing, but such a time saver.

    How this isn't a feature yet I'll never understand, and is probably one of my biggest gripes and why I HATE using Illustrator in my workflow.

    Right click on a layer to perform an action is such a simple thing. Photoshop feels easy and intuitive, but then coming over to illustrator it's like there is no synergy between them. They look the same and act completely different. I think I'm done using Adobe products, not worth the headache for utterly simple things. Especially considering how much adobe actually takes to heart seeing as how this thread is from 2017! It's nearly 2025 and still basic functionality isn't in illustrator.
