Bring Back Default Tool Functionality Removed w v10

Pre-v10, I could set a default tool for each tool palatte.  For example, for the Summarize tool pallate, I could make the Summarize tool the default (that already was the default, but you get the point).  I could then simply drag the tool palatte icon onto the canvas and the Summarize tool would be there.  Now, I have to navigate to the tool pallate and drag my tool on the canvas.  Yes, I know I could add it to my favorites, but screen real estate goes quickly after adding just a few favorites to the already defaulted favorites.  It would've been nice if this functionality wasn't removed with v10.

I miss this, I thought this was a really cool feature for the couple of versions that it was in and then it all of a sudden disappeared.

 

Thanks for the memories @mbarone

This is a great option that I miss as well. I end up wasting time using the global search.
