Enclosed Mode toggle button in Control and CTB
Illustrator now has a dedicated option to permanently toggle Enclosed Selection Mode, in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display > Select Objects only within Marquee.
However, there’s no hotkey we can assign to this option (or any other option in Preferences!) or a button outside or Prefs — in Control panel or Contextual Task Bar... Properties I don’t mention, since it’d certainly want me to have nothing selected.

A hot key or always visible button the the control bar would make this ideal.
I found myself going back and forth to preferences to switch on and off.
