I’d like to suggest adding a dedicated Paint Bucket fill tool to Adobe Illustrator, similar to what’s found in other design software. The current method of filling shapes—selecting each path and applying fill through the Properties panel or using the Live Paint Bucket—can be cumbersome, especially when working with complex or overlapping vector art. A more intuitive, single-click fill tool would significantly speed up the creative process by allowing users to target enclosed areas and apply color without first converting to a Live Paint group or constantly switching tools. This would streamline workflows, reduce repetitive actions, and make the app more beginner-friendly without compromising professional flexibility. Such a feature could enhance Illustrator’s accessibility while keeping it powerful for precise vector design.
