Set "Align to Key Object" default to select the object on the bottom layer
Feature Request: Set "Align to Key Object" default to select the object on the bottom layer
Hello! I've been using Adobe Creative Suite products for about 20 years, and one feature that would be a huge and helpful time saver is to switch the default settings for the "Align" > "Align to Key Object" feature. Currently, the feature appears to always default to having the top object as the key object. However, in most cases when I want to use Align to Key Object, I want the bottom object to be the key object. Because of the current default, it feels super tedious and a time waster to have to manually make that selection every time.
For example, I'm currently cleaning up a document that has text boxes on top of colored rectangular boxes. In every instance, I am selecting both objects and want to align the text box (top layer) to the colored rectangle (bottom layer). It is very tedious to have to select the objects, then choose "Align to Key Object," THEN switch key to the bottom object.
I would guess that this would be the case for most designers (and pretty much every time I've ever used this feature, I've wanted to use the bottom object as the key), so it would be great for this to be the default mode for this alignment feature. BUT a compromise could be to add an option to set the default in the Preferences. (Please make this update in any/all Adobe products, especially InDesign and Illustrator.) Thank you!
