We are excited to announce that this feature is now available in BETA (starting V 29.1.28).
The new 'Generate color info' helps you share color information with others.
To use this, just select the colors from the swatch panel and click on 'generate color info' in the menu options.
You can customise the size, layout, color codes etc.
PS : Currently we only support CMYK values but other color codes such as RGB, HSB, spot vs process colors are in pipeline and we will ship them shortly.
Please try out this feature and let us know what you think!
Thanks
Saurav

The latest Beta 28.8.0.19 now remembers the position of this panel and better picks the initial position.
Please try it, see if it makes it any more tolerable, and leave your comments.
An error occurred while saving the comment I agree Beatrice. I actually like the functionality of it, but I don't understand this obsession with floating task bars. We have panels on the side for everything, which are flexible for stacking and organizing the tools you need to the side of your work area. I don't understand why this (and the evil contextual task bar) couldn't live there. Anything added to the work area is a distraction or obstacle to doing the work. I feel like this software is made by people who don't use this software.

Latest Beta Build 29.1.0.79 now allows to add gradient and pattern swatches into color groups. Simple as that. I am personally amazed it just works.
Please try it yourself in the latest Beta and see if it works for you as well. My congratulations, everybody. Vote more!

It got resolved by assigning the new shortcut for 'View using GPU/CPU' / removing the old. Can be treated as a solution, but it’s still unclear how Illustrator allowed two identical hotkeys exist at the same time (usually a warning gets displayed, and the older command gets blanked). So if anyone has the same problem — please comment.
An error occurred while saving the comment One other note, in the three years or longer this has been happening, I have used three different computers/installs of CC. So I don't believe that a fresh install will do anything.
An error occurred while saving the comment To continue, I just set GPU preview to cmd+opt+], saved the set and closed/reopened Ai. The GPU preview shortcut reverted again to cmd+E.
An error occurred while saving the comment Ok, I think I actually did try changing that shortcut in the past and had forgotten (posted this 3 years ago so forgive me). After closing and reopening Ai the shortcut for view using GPU/CPU has reverted to cmd+E and both are simultaneously existing once again. Last time I tried changing the GPU/CPU shortcut, and then deleted it. I will now try changing the shortcut and leaving it as something other than cmd+E. Note that these shortcuts are saved to a set, and that set does not currently list a shortcut for GPU preview.
I should also say that I have tried saving a new set of shortcuts and the issue persists.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yes it displayed the shortcut for both and would typically work as expand, but perhaps hitting when expand was greyed out, like accidentally hitting the shortcut twice, would then switch to cpu mode. Not sure why both shortcuts existed simultaneously, but I remember trying to set it multiple times and getting the same result. I did not think to change the CPU/GPU shortcut and that seems to have resolved the problem. Thanks
An error occurred while saving the comment The shortcut I assign cmd+E to is Object>Expand. It was listed as the shortcut for both commands as seen in screen shots.
I did change the shortcut for GPU/CPU view to cmd+L and saved. Then deleted that shortcut and saved again. Now cmd+E does not show as the shortcut in the menu.
I save my shortcuts to a file. If/when it happens again I will reload my shortcuts and report, but changing that shortcut seems to have resolved the problem.
An error occurred while saving the comment this is still the case.

Recent versions of Illustrator have the dedicated Select Same submenu for text objects, specifically Select > Same > Text Fill Color.
This still won’t work properly if your text objects have complex appearance (a separate fill over characters counts as an object-level fill), but works for most cases.
Magic Wand though indeed ignores text objects completely. If you still want it to be able to do so, please vote and comment. There are some questions to be solved for that, like 'what should the wand do, if a clicked text characters of different colors mixed'?
Thank you!
