Rotate canvas functionality is now available in Beta. You can download this beta through the Creative Cloud Desktop app’s beta section.
You can easily rotate the canvas and change its direction. All your artboards and visible onscreen objects will be rotated according to the specified angle. Like zoom, the rotated canvas view will be saved with the document. We are working on enabling artboard guides in a rotated view and shall be available updates soon.
This has been one big missing functionality in Illustrator and we would love to hear your feedback in helping us refine it further. What do you like? What do you think is missing? Please share.

Happy birthday, Rotate Canvas Story! You're three years old now!

Oh hey it's coming up on another year since this "story" was "added to backlog"! I'd better get ready for its birthday party soon.

Hey are y’all ever going to add this one simple transformation to the matrix you’re already applying every time you draw the preview window? It’s three and a half years since you were gonna “pick it up shortly”.

As a subsidiary request: I know that international users can have problems with this because they don't *have* this key on their keyboard. And they can't change it, because it doesn't show up in the Keyboard prefs. Having that changeable, whether in the Keyboard prefs, or SOMEwhere, would be icing on the cake.

2021 beta, 25.0.1.68.
1. I can only apply Repeat to artwork, not to a layer. I love being able to just freely draw stuff on a layer and have whatever effects I've applied to it Just Happen. Going into an isolation group is a ton of hassle compared to just selecting a layer.
2. Repeat does not show up in the Appearance palette. IMHO it should, it is basically plopping a new UI on top of a bunch of stuff done with the Transform tool.
3. Since Repeat's not an Appearance item, it can't be a graphic style. Styles are VERY USEFUL and as I move into bigger, longer projects they have become core to how I approach Illustrator. Y'all keep ignoring this, the Freeform Gradients do not *exist* in my practice because they can't get saved as Styles.
4. no window>repeat? Just a couple of controls in the Properties palette (which is always off for me)
5. It'd be pretty nice to have an option to visually clip the repeated art to hide anything outside of a segment of the canvas based on the repetition settings, have a look at Astute's MirrorMe for an example. (Mirror repeats do this, I see.)
6. Selecting a repeat group and trying to change the repeat type in object>repeat>options does nothing.
7. Having on-canvas controls for these things is nice, though I can't get them to show up reliably when re-selecting an object. They only seem to come up if I am in the Selection tool (not the Direct Selection tool) and specifically select the repeat object?
8. oh man if I make a tile repeat and then accidentally rotate the whole thing with the Free Transform tool while trying to get the on-canvas controls to show up, it expands the whole thing into a giant messOn a higher level: Maybe the repeat controls should be in the Free Transform tool? It was designed to unify all the transformation tools that existed at the time and there's something about these that feel like they belong with it.
I dunno, as is I can't see it replacing Transform effects (whether applied manually or via Astute's Stylism) or Astute's MirrorMe for me.
I feel like I could also make a case for this being something that should be folded into Window>Pattern Options? Upgrade that to do reflections, rotations, maybe even glides and whatever other cool stuff is hidden behind paying $500 for SymmetryWorks...

fyi Mark, object>path>reverse path direction exists now and can be assigned a shortcut, but this by no means obliviates my desire for tons more shortcuttable items in general!

God yes.
I currently have almost EVERY SINGLE ALLOWABLE SHORTCUT mapped to something. There's about thirty keystrokes in the combination of `1234567890-=qwertyuiop[]asdfghjkl;'zxcvbnm,./ plus command, command-opt, command-shift, or command-opt-shift that are unassigned.
If I could assign stuff to command-control-something, command-opt-control-something, command-shift-control-something, and command-opt-shift-control something, I would have SO MUCH MORE FREEDOM when adding keystrokes for new features from Adobe or plugins.
I guess this might cause problems when sharing shortcuts to Windows, as they only have ctrl/alt/shift available for shortcuts, with the Windows key reserved for OS shortcuts? I dunno. I never use Windows. Display a warning that this shortcut is not portable to Windows when I assign something that uses the control key, change the color of half the Keyboard Shortcut dialogue to red or yellow to make this warning super obvious, I'm fine with that.
(This comment brought to you by me going through the Keyboard Shortcuts dialogue and trying to apply *every allowable shortcut* to a plugin's menu item and writing down which ones were used or not.)

This one seems to have come back, I am finding that curve handles are only grabbable with my Wacom stylus in the very center pixel, no matter how large I’ve set the curve handles to display. I’m currently on 24.1.2 , I’m waiting for 24.2.1 to fix some issues I’ve been hearing about losing basic functions on 24.2.0 before upgrading.

It's about two years later and I still really want this switch, I still swear every time I make a blend and then have to either eyeball making my own spine, or undo, close one path, make the blend, and re-edit that path.

**** i just saw the gif of how Xara does this that you posted in the prerelease forums, I want this so bad now, it'd make using blends for quick distribution of things along perspective *so* much easier
