How do I turn off the bounding box in Illustrator CC (2017) and have it stay off until I call for it again?

To turn the bounding box off for all documents. launch Illustrator but don't open any files. Then choose View > Hide Bounding Box. You will see the handy keyboard shortcut next to the command which will make it fast and easy for you to turn the bounding box on and off at will.

That sounds more like the way you would do it in InDesign.

Illustrator remembers the setting, if you turn it off (with or without document open), it will stay off.

I guess the question is related to the behaviour of selecting a typeface in CC 2017. Even if the Bounding Box is off, changing font will turn it on.

Is there no way to stop the bounding box from coming on when you change a typeface?
