    The day has come. The latest 30.5.0.102 Beta adds Align To and Distribute Spacing commands into the Object menu.

    These also work in actions, can get hotkeys assigned.

    A shy message gets displayed when Align To mode is toggled to be sure it’s switched, and the Distribute Spacing dialog allows the set the gap value with the Preview option.

    This is a lot, and it now completes the original request.

    Please try, test, comment back, have joy!

    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 Although now it is obsolete, but it's old version 10 or MX is still very user friendly.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.
