Pin the contextual toolbar

[Secret Jardin Marketing]

Hi Adobe,

While I love the idea of the contextual toolbar, I'm sure I am joined by many in my opinion that it really gets in the way a lot of time, covering up parts of the design you'd like to see, making it hard to resize or move an object precisely and so on.

I'm extremely happy that I can just permanently pin the bar in the bottom of the screen (or wherever I want it) in Photoshop, but this option is entirely missing in Illustrator.

The bar will remain where it is for the duration of my work after I move it, but the position is not retained going from document to document or when I restart Illustrator. Can you PLEASE add an option to permanently pin the position like in Photoshop?

It's either that or I'll have to deactivate it entirely as it's more annoying than it is helpful when it gets in the way all the time. The benefit just doesn't outweight the annoyance, I'm sorry.

Do you think you could post this to Uservoice? It may get more traction there and the developers use it to track the status of bugs and requests:

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! I posted it both as a feedback comment to the new feature post, and as a new feature request, since no one else seems to have requested a pin feature yet
