Your wrong as I wrote its simple. Open Photoshop. Select The Lasso tool to activate the tool. Use the first icon in the tool option bar little down point triangle to pop-open the pull-down menu. In that menu on the top right you will see a gear icon and an icon below it click on that icon to save a new Preset. Name the new preset SelectLasso. Next select the move tool. Then in the bottom of the Actions palette click on the icon the looks like a folder. Name the new Action Set SelectPreset. Next click on the icon next to the one that looked like a folder the one before the trash icon. Name the new Action SelectLasso and the click the record button in the new action dialog. Next use the first icon in the tool option bar little down pointing triangle to open the pull-down menu. If you do not see all tools preset you have on your system. Un-Check the Current Tool Only check box in the bottom of the pull down menu. Then click the SelectLasso preset name. That should be recorded into the Action. In the bottom of the Actions Palette click the stop button the action is complete. Select any tool other the the lasso in the tool palette to activate. Then highlight the SelectLasso Action in the Action Set SelectPreset and click the play button. The Lasso tool should become active.
In the following you should see the Line tool is currently Active tool. The Preset Named SelectLasso and the action set SelectPreset and the action SelectLasso. Then when I highlight the Action SelectLasso and click the play button that the Lasso tool becomes active. View the image in a new browser tab or window and scale to actual size.
