    You can make the hand tool the default option by trying:
    1)Look under Preferences> Acessibility
    2)Uncheck "Always display the keyboard selection
    3)Then select the Hand Tool.
    4)Close the program
    5)The Hand tool will now be default

    Hand tool and selection tool is related to touch mode settings.

    When the program detects that the user is using a touch screen then it selects hand tool. so that your hand can be used as usual way.
    But when it detects that , there is no touch input/display connected then it selects selection tool (cursor) for using with mouse.

    So you need to set touch mode option to >Always. Thus the program will always presume that the user is in touch mode. And give you the hand tool as default.

    To make hand tool default ,
    Go to : Edit > Preferences > General >Touch Mode > Always
