Can't you do with selecting "Make hand tool select text & images" ? It's not exactly the same, but useful for most situations

I do not think anything needs to be changed.

Both tools are separately selectable and neither is default.

Click directly on top of the Arrow and you get the selection tool and can use that. Click directly on top of the Pan (hand) and you get Click and pan around with the Pan tool.

So there is no default here and you can select what you specifically need.
