Hey, @lukášm57011761. Thanks for adding the video. This behavior is by design and cannot be changed when you work with Artboards in Photoshop.

You can press Shift + V to toggle back to the Move tool.

Hey, @lukášm57011761. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out.

There are several ways to deprioritize the Artboard tool. You can go to Edit > Edit Toolbar > Drag the Artboard Tool to the Extra tool tab, enable the checkbox for disabling shortcuts, and click on Done.

Thank you @Sameer K I tried that, but it didn't solve my problem. I need the "move" tool to remain selected even after selecting and choosing the drawing area, and not switch to the "drawing area" tool. It's annoying to have to keep switching tools for each artboard when working with rulers.
