Give option to make Hand Tool the default option instead of the Select Tool
The Select Tool is the default tool. I never use it and have never seen a need to use it. It makes the screen turn blue and wants to select things instead of letting me drag and move around the page to review large documents. I always have to stop what I'm doing and switch to the hand tool. I am opening and managing easily over 100 PDFs a day and having to switch at every new document is frustrating and time consuming. Adding this as an option would save so much time for users that need this as their default setting.

I have the opposite problem. I usually want to edit the objects and have to dance around to get it to NOT behave like the hand tool. The “hand” tool is quite literally the shape of a hand, for panning around the scene, not for editing objects…. These functions should not be confused with each other.

I'm in the same situation as you Jorg. I waste a LOT of time constantly having to change back to the hand tool. It's very frustrating!!!
