    The most recent version finally has the Object > Distribute menu added.

    Now both Align and Distribute commands can be accessed via menu and have assigned keyboards shortcuts to them.


    The order of the commands though seemingly matches the one the panel has: horizontal first for Align and vertical first for Distribute. If you find this odd and want to change it — vote here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45855823-sync-the-order-of-align-and-distribute-menu-comman


    Also, Align To and Distribute Spacing commands are still missing in top menus, so please keep voting here to make them added too.

    I'm using Macromedia Freehand for many years. Although now it is obsolete, but it's old version 10 or MX is still very user friendly. Specially alignment short keys, while there is no button or short cut in Illustrator of horizontally and vertically center together. Further more Clipping Mask is not better than Paste Inside (in Freehand) and any many more things which are not in Illustrator. I think Adobe should seriously think about it.
