Setting a default tool when opening PDFs in Revu

I've been trying to find anything related to this, but all I see is default tool 'settings' but I want to change the tool, not settings of the tool. The default selected now is the pan tool but my most used tool is the select text tool and when I open a new PDF or have multiple opened and then I close one, Revu will change the selected tool back to the pan tool when I don't want it to. Is there any possible way to set a certain tool to be the default tool that is active when I open a PDF?
