scale with keep aspect ratio as default?

Steps to reproduce:

I asked at StackOverflow if "scale with keep aspect ratio as default?" is possible:

https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/26892/inkscape-scale-with-keep-aspect-ratio-as-default

What happened?

A lot of people up-voted the question

I know that I can keep aspect ratio when scaling images by pressing the Ctrl key.

But I really don't like this default.

Is there a way to modify inkscape, to make scale and keeping aspect ratio the default?
