A mode for lasso tool where it selects only completely enclosed objects
The lasso tool should have a mode (switch?) where it only selects objects that are completely enclosed by the lasso area, not anything that intersects with the lasso area. This is very useful for selecting things in complex drawings.

Instead of a switch, perhaps circling clockwise could do the current "touching" mode, while circling counter-clockwise could do the new suggested "completely enclosed" area.
I think this would speed up my workflow, instead of requiring another mode to switch back-and-forth between.

Related to this, if I draw something and erase a portion of it, then lasso one of the remaining portions, I would think that any action I take would be done on the lasso’ed area, not the entire original drawing. The lasso is too greedy.
In the attached, the first state is the drawing with a portion deleted. The second state is me trying to move just the lasso’ed area, but also moving the portion that was originally connected.

Adding my vote - this would be incredibly helpful, especially when trying to edit mark-ups that are on top of a photo.
