Suggestion: Auto-Focus Fill or Stroke in Panel

Question

Hi everyone,I’d like to suggest a small dynamic improvement that could make working with the command panel more intuitive, especially when dealing with object colors.Currently, when I select an object with a fill, the square showing the fill color stays in the foreground. It would be helpful if, when selecting a stroke instead, the stroke color square automatically came to the foreground. This way, switching between fill and stroke editing would be smoother and wouldn’t require manual toggling each time.I believe this change could improve workflow efficiency, especially when working with multiple objects and frequently alternating between fills and strokes.What do you think? Has anyone found a workaround or implemented something similar?

Hi, Giacomo, the best place for feature requests is here:

But thinking about your request, how would Illustrator know what you want to change? Do you want to add/delete/change a fill or a stroke?

Is simply using the X key not enough to change the focus between Fill and Stroke?
