The select tool defaults to the rectangle select, I almost always would prefer the Lasso tool. There should be an option to set your default choice of selection in your projects.
The Select tool always resets to "Select by Rectangle", which is not useful for my purposes. I always switch to Select by Lasso. I would like to be able to make this my default select option in Pro, or even making it defaulted to a specific project file.
I would like to see the ability to set a default for the Select tool in the Selection section of Pro's settings. The rectangle is one of the least useful options in most of my use situations, so I always change to the lasso, but it would be great if that was just something I set once, and didn't have to do again (or at least until the next update).

Ah I had searched for an existing Idea and didn't see anything! Not sure how I missed this. Thanks for the link!
I like the idea. It would be cool to set the default opening tool as well. It's always Explore, but we use Select much more often.
Thanks for submitting this idea.
Rather than yet-another backstage configuration setting, how would you feel about having the active Select tool remembered over multiple Pro sessions?
So if you close Pro with Select by Lasso active, it would be the default select tool in your next Pro session.

Thanks Michele! My apologies, my note wasn't clear.
Pro does NOT currently remember which Select tool you used last - it resets to Rectangle every time.
However, IF it did remember it, would that meet your need? (IE: rather than requiring a setting).
Thanks! Nathan.
