every Button and action should have a possible shortcut. For example, there is no possibility to manually do this for "Align Layers to".

Setup Essencial's panel so it is always on the comp we are working at the moment.
Because if I am on COMP01 and add a property to it's essencial's panel, then go to COMP02 and try to do the same, it adds it to the essencial's panel of COMP_01, and automatically gives you a error.

I'd like to have the essencial's panel always synced with the composition I'm currently working on, instead of aways having to go to the dropdown menu and select close "COMP_01" all the time.

Please bring back features like "select single view" in viewer settings. It is crucial for those, who are working with 2D animations on small screens and need more screen estate. I've uninstalled version 18.0 and using older v17 until the feature returns. Thank you!

The Import and save window appears behind main window. Version 18.0
need to shuffle main window to the side to click the import or render or save window that would normal pop up on top of main window instead of behind.

bug.
dropdown lists eg. color profiles not working on main GUI 5120x2160
have to drag onto standard density 1920x1200 monitor to select

latest nvidia studio drivers, 1070Ti

While (on Windows 10) there is a workaround for the title bar, this is a) not exactly optimal and b) does NOT encompass the menu bar.

This has been requested by lots of After Effects users in various forums, so let's make it official and finally get this feature out.

I would like to see a more Accessibility friendly user interface in all of the Adobe apps. As a recent member to the visually impaired community, I now struggle with the Adobe applications that I have been using for over 2 decades. There needs to be a high contrast mode or modes to the UI. ie, white on black. As well, a scalable UI and font sizes would be great.

Finally, making sure that ALL text elements in the UI, menus, tools etc. can be read by a text to speech engine would go a long way.

thanks.

I would like the keyframes of the path (position) to be selectable as Vertex mask. When a vertex is selected, other vertices can be selected by drawing a frame. With position points, you can only do this one at a time by pressing shift. If there is a stop in the path, you can't do it because the other keyframe is behind the first. OK, for the last 25 years we've always done this by selecting the keyframes in the Timeline panel. It's not a big deal, but I would like to see the path selection in the Viewer improved.

When importing a special character for the Symbola font from Illustrator to AE, trying to recolour it leads to a complete mess. As can be seen in the linked video, the standard text (top line) behaves as expected, but the special characters (bottom line) lead to characters being recoloured further along the row – even though, according to the character panel, those characters are still black. This means these characters are totally unusable in AE short of using a Fill effect and masking areas out to be recoloured, which is highly detrimental to the workflow.

Just as expected - Alt Drag should copy anything.

The idea of this concept is that users can save their workspace layout within After Effects and save it within their Adobe account / Cloud.

This way, the user can recall their workspace layout when they update and upgrade the software. So users wouldn't need to manually restack the interface each time.

Bounding box do not match shape boundaries.
And when I zoom and use Hand Tool - shape boundaries "jump".
How can I fix that?

Currently when you have two more composition panels open (i.e. one is locked and you are making changes in a precomp and looking at the effects of that change in a different comp), the default behavior when you close one of those composition panels is to collapse any surrounding panels inward, leaving the other composition panels the same size.

This is annoying, because rarely do you want the effect control panel or your plug-in panel to expand. What you usually want is for the other composition panel to take up the space where the two were.

Every time I do CTRL-C (copy) on a layers in composition panel all items in Project panel resets its position. Often I work on dozens of Compositions and need to go through some and copy some layers from one to other after I hit CTRL-C I have to scroll Project panel to look for my destination composition despite of that it was just in place where I left Project panel before pressing CTRL-C in composition. Its just annoying.

Contextual menu items for trimming layers: trim to layer above, below, comp length, work area, etc. For mattes, motion tracks, shape layers, 3d render passes, etc, it would great to be able to do basic in/out operations on layers or groups of layers without having to move the playhead around in the timeline, pan, zoom, etc. Just right-clicking a layer or a shortcut to snap it to some points would be great. Does this exist and I just don't know about it? Thanks
