1. Make Enclosed Selection Mode a permanent option

   Illustrator now allows to use Enclosed Mode to select objects within the marquee (originally requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31863601), but the only way to do it is tap E key.

   I agree that this basic feature is essential, but I don't agree that any modifier keys or specific dragging directions (like requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49489604) should be required. Shift-drag is already used to add to the selection, so that won't work.

   Opt/Alt toggles duplication, and both can be toggled mid-drag (unlike in Photoshop).

   This should be a selectable selection mode (also with a hotkey), and in fact there should be a way to set it as the default option.

   Illustrator today allows to set this mode as a default behavior with the Select Objects only within Marquee option, in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display.
