    I've said this many times before, and mentioned it in the Adobe feedback website.... but again it drives me insane this am:

    If you have a single object with only a Fill, or only a Stroke - Illustrator please have the sense to switch the focus of the colour selector thing to that fill or stroke colour. So that when you want to quickly change a colour of an item be it in swatches panel, color panel or from a color saved in libraries - it changes that stroke or fill. NOT add a fill or stroke to an item that otherwise didn't have a fill or stroke.

    Fuck sake it is driving me insane and causing one more click / keyboard press due to a process no one needs.

    • I hate that Indesign always thinks you want to change the colour of the text box rather than the text! Sorry off topic.Hayzilla
    • Adobe... making presumptions on how designers work, without asking them.shapesalad
    • I had a mental fit about this today.Chimp
    • I always say don't make it one way or another. Create a setting in preferences to switch back and forth as needed or wanted.CyBrainX

    • It's such a waste of time and @Hayzilla that will eventually drive me to throw my computer out the window.mapleT
    • Yo press x to switch focus. but one line of code would save a tonne of frustration.shapesalad
