Measure distance -tool keypoint filter default

Measure distance -tool keypoint filter default

Measure distance -tool keypoint filter default

(OP)
The measure distance -tool on Inspect tab has a filter where it snaps by default (center and end point, end point, tangent, midpoint etc.) It used to be on "all" by default, at least in ST4. Now I'm using ST6, and the default selection is center and end point.

I use this tool very much for measuring something on the midpoint of the curve or line so I have to change the selection every time. Is there any way to save the default selection on "all"?

Here's a screenshot for clarification http://i.imgur.com/lihK6DY.jpg

RE: Measure distance -tool keypoint filter default

Great question. I wonder what determines the default for many commands.
