Is there a way to make the hand tool default when opening a document instead of the selection tool?

I can't find anything in the preferences..

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but an earlier presented solution was as follows:

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.

I hope it works for you!

It's a bug not yet fixed, see this topic:

Ok got it. Thanks. Hopefully they get this cleared up. It is indeed, painful.
