remove recycle bin from left navigation for Visitors
Recycle bin is not relevant for visitors resp. page viewers (users with read permission to the site.) Add the ability to remove it from navigation.
People who wants it can always add it as a standard link to the menu.

Ability to set 'Tile' or 'List' as a default view
Please allow libraries to be show in List view by default.
I don't mind tile view, but when I got to all the trouble of setting up columns and mandatory fields and it displays tiles by default for each new user, all the power of the document library metadata is hidden.
This happened for me when the library contained only PDFs

We’ll enable adding mailto syntax formatted links (mailto:emailalias@contoso.com) in the FilePicker via the “From a link” tab. This is already supported in the Page picker (Ctrl+K) in the rich text editor (RTE) on modern pages.

Add customization possibility to the new SharePoint Home page
Based on the new feature being now rolled out at large: https://blogs.office.com/2016/05/04/sharepoint-the-mobile-and-intelligent-intranet/
The new SharePoint Home page (landing page) is cool and we really appreciate the new look and feel.
The only issue is that we can not customize that Home page and place the different items based on our priority!
Based on what we have now:Links
Followed Sites
Recents
SuggestedIt would be very interesting if we could place the LINKS on the right followed by the Followed sites!
Then we would have the Recents and Suggested sites on the left menu.
Basically being able to move parts…

Wiki link functionality in modern pages
When editing text blocks in a modern web pages, I'd like to use the wiki link code [[New Page Here]] and have the same functionality, meaning that when saved I can click the "New Page Here" link and have a new page be created automatically with the original link going to the new page.

Always show options to send email invitation and select group or permission level
My users want the option to send email from the Share UI to be more obvious. Currently it is on by default and hidden under Show Options. Often they complain they didn't want to send email, especially if adding a large group. Also, depending on site group structure, the default group selected might be one with too much access, so I think that should not be hidden under Show Options either, regardless of the fact it has the text at the top of the window.

Good feedback. We’ll fix this in our next update of the share UI.

I'd like the ability to specify whether items using the Quick Links app open in a new tab or not.

Create Groups sites under /Teams and Communications sites under /Sites
Communications sites should not be created in the same managed path as Groups sites. They are not managed the same way and don't follow the same rules.
At least, allow the selection of the path on the create screen.

We are planning to provide a path selection mechanism in the new admin center, but until then we’ll look to at least amend the PowerShell (note that you can already set the path using PnP PowerShell – specifically, the New-PnPTenantSite cmdlet).

Content Search Webpart with targeting audience property, in Modern View
The actual Content Search Webpart with targeting audience property is not available for Modern View pages.
This is a great web part functionality that should be preserved in the modern view, is very useful in several item segmentation scenarios.70 votes -
Need a better way of viewing photos in an online folder instead of one at a time.
Improve the photo viewer in an online folder instead of only being able to view one photo at a time. It needs to work much like OneDrive Personal where you can scroll through an entire folder of photo files by clicking a next button.

We have it in our list of features to support photos on OneDrive for Business in a similar manner to how this is handled on OneDrive Consumer.

Quick Links should allow mailto and respect query string parameters
The quick links web part does not allow mailto protocol based links, and when linking to a document if I have web=0 in the url to force a document to open in the client application, the link is overwritten to also include a web=1. If a parameter exists in a url, the web part should not attempt to overwrite/append it.
2 votesWe’ll enable mailto links in quicklinks shortly. Appending the web=1 is currently by design
