Hallo, of ik zie het nu pas of het is na de update.

Een zwarte dikke rand om een nieuw gemaakt document.

Is dat ergens weg te halen of?!?!?!?!

How do I turn off the stupid change to the preferences bar you've made? I use keyboard increment 100's of times a day when laying AW and now you've slowed the whole process down with the automatic highlight of the search settings bar.

In Illustrator 29.6 / 29.6.1, the behavior of Tab has changed in a way that significantly slows down layer‑name workflows. It no longer moves you directly to the next layer’s name while renaming. Instead, it cycles through visibility toggles, lock icons, color swatches, expand/collapse arrows, and panel buttons before finally landing on the next name field — a reversal of the behavior in versions ≤ 29.5.

I frequently rename many layers in sequence, and the old workflow enabled me to:

1. Double‑click a layer name → type the new name

2. Press Tab → immediately start renaming the next layer

This keyboard-only process was fast and essential for my projects. Now, the extra Tab stops interrupt my flow and force me to switch to the mouse multiple times per layer.

Adobe’s admin response on the UserVoice thread noted the change likely stemmed from accessibility improvements, and confirmed it “broke the way this feature works.”

✔️ Suggested solution:

Please add a setting in Preferences (or inside the Layers panel) to restore the classic Tab behavior, where Tab jumps directly to the next layer name. Optionally, let users toggle between “focus full row” (accessibility mode) vs “focus name field” behavior. That would keep accessibility intact while restoring efficient workflows.

Thank you for considering it.
