Question

"Quick Actions" Menu is extremely hard to find

Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but I'm finding that the location of Illustrator's "Quick Actions" menu is extremely unintuitive and hard to find.

 

Is there a reason it can't just be another panel that I can dock on my interface -- rather than being a menu that I need to get into by clicking on the "Search" icon... which opens a separate window called "Discover"... which then contains dropdown item called "Quick Actions"... which I might notice if I knew to look down within a section called "Browse"? 😕😕

 

 

Dont get me wrong: I love the potential of the new "Quick Actions" interface. It's just a shame that it's... not so quick... to access.

F1 doesn't work for you?

My shortcuts list F1 as being mapped to `Illustrator Help`, but nothing happens when I press it.

Any other issues you've been having? I don't want to suggest you create a new user and instal into that if this is your only problem.

I understand that. However, I wanted to post here because it was more of an abstract idea -- and I was hoping to get more discussion going on it.

 

Also... the Adobe Illustrator "new feature" summary documentation recommends sharing ideas here 🤔 🤔.
