iMac | Is it possible to change the Scaling and Skewing settings?

Question

Hello, this isn't really a major issue, just a matter of preference.

Aight so whenever I'm scaling something, by default it'll resize evenly from the center like http://prntscr.com/j74afu

And skewing goes like http://prntscr.com/j74cgj

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But when holding down Option, it does this for scaling http://prntscr.com/j74dnc

And this for skewing http://prntscr.com/j74f0o

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So my question is, can I change the settings to where it does the Option version by default without holding down the key? Like how it did in Macromedia Flash 8?

I used that to animate before I got a Mac and I'm used to that (honestly I prefer it more).

I'm still getting used to the Mac's way of doing commands like instead of Ctrl+Z its Command+Z, except in Animate CC I can still do Ctrl Z and it'll undo like it should which I am VERY thankful for.

It's okay if it can't be done, just would make it a little more convenient.

You can see in this discussion how I explained that the change was made to make altering symbols and shapes be constant, which it didn't used to be, but that the choice they made was the wrong one. That is, symbols should have been changed to match shapes, and not the other way around:

As I mentioned in that topic, I did submit a feature request about it. That was nearly 8 months ago, I don't think anything has been done yet.
